List of Institutions of Higher Education Ineligible for Federal 
Funds

AGENCY: Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document is published to identify institutions of higher 
education that are ineligible for contracts and grants by reason of a 
determination by the Secretary of Defense. It also implements the 
requirements set forth in the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act 
of 1997 and 32 CFR part 216. The institutions of higher education so 
identified are:

City College of San Francisco, San Francisco, California
Mills College, Oakland, California

Ohio Northern University College of Law, Ada, Ohio
University of Oregon School of Law, Eugene, Oregon
Willamette University College of Law, Salem, Oregon
St. Mary's University School of Law, San Antonio, Texas

    The Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997 provides that 
schools prohibited by state laws or court rulings from providing the 
requisite degree of access would not be denied funding prior to one 
year following the effective date of that law (i.e., not until March 
29, 1998). However, that provision applies only to funds from agencies 
other than the Department of Defense, which is bound by provisions of 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1995. Therefore, 
the Secretary of Defense has determined that the following institutions 
of higher education prevent recruiter access to campuses, students, or 
student information and are ineligible for DoD contracts and grants.

Capital Community-Technical College, Hartford, Connecticut

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 8, 1997 (62 FR 16694), the 
Department of Defense published 32 CFR part 216 as an interim rule. 
This rule and the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997, 
requires the Department of Defense semi-annually to publish a list of 
the institutions of higher education ineligible for Federal funds. 32 
CFR part 216 and the Secretary of Defense under 108 Stat. 2663, 10 
U.S.C. 983, and 110 Stat. 3009 and/or this part identifies institutions 
of higher education that have a policy or practice that either 
prohibits, or in effect prevents, the Secretary of Defense from 
obtaining, for military recruiting purposes, entry to campuses, access 
to students on campuses, access to directory information on students or 
that has an anti-ROTC policy.
