Office of the Secretary


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 that the institution prevents 
military recruiter access to the campus or students or maintains a 
policy against ROTC. It also implements the requirements set forth in 
the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997 and 32 CFR Part 
216.
    Recently, American University reported modifications to policies of 
its Washington College of Law sufficient to merit removal of that 
college from the list of ineligible schools. Currently, no institution 
of higher education is ineligible for contracts of grants under the 
aforementioned law and policy.

addresses: Director for Accession Policy, Office of the Assistant 
Secretary of Defense for Force Management Policy, 4000 Defense 
Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-4000.

for further information contact: William J. Carr, (703) 697-8444.

supplementary information: On April 8, 1997 (62 FR 16691), the 
Department of Defense published 32 CFR part 216 as an interim rule. 
This rule requires that the Department of Defense semi-annually publish 
a list of the institutions of higher education ineligible for Federal 
funds due to 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. On December 9, 1997 (62 FR 64813), the Department of Defense 
published a list of the institutions of higher education ineligible for 
Federal funding; this notice updates and supersedes that listing.

    Dated: January 22, 1998.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
