42 U.S.C. § 295m — Prohibition against discrimination on basis of sex
submitted 82 years ago by Pub. L. 102-408 to r/title-42-THE-PUBLIC-HEALTH-AND-WELFARE · 246 words · no verdicts yet
The Secretary can't fund certain medical, dental, and health training schools unless they promise not to discriminate based on sex in admissions. This applies to grants, loan guarantees, interest subsidies, and contracts. One school switching from all-female to co-ed gets a special transition rule.
The Secretary* may not give a grant, loan guarantee, or interest subsidy payment under this subchapter to, or for the benefit of, a school of medicine*, osteopathic medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry, pharmacy, podiatric medicine, or public health, or a training center for allied health workers, or a graduate program in clinical psychology* — unless the application includes assurances, satisfactory to the Secretary, that the school or center won't discriminate based on sex when admitting students to its training programs.
The Secretary also may not sign a contract under this subchapter with any such school or training center unless the school, training center, or graduate program gives the same assurance about not discriminating based on sex in admissions.
There is one exception. If, on October 13, 1992, a school of medicine was in the process of switching from admitting only female students to admitting students without regard to sex — and was doing so under a plan the Secretary approved — then the non-discrimination rules above only apply to that school's grants, contracts, loan guarantees, or interest subsidies for a fiscal year starting after June 30, 1979.
The Secretary* may not make a grant, loan guarantee, or interest subsidy payment under this subchapter to, or for the benefit of, any school of medicine*, osteopathic medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry, pharmacy, podiatric medicine, or public health or any training center for allied health personnel, or graduate program in clinical psychology*, unless the application for the grant, loan guarantee, or interest subsidy payment contains assurances satisfactory to the Secretary that the school or training center will not discriminate on the basis of sex in the admission of individuals to its training programs. The Secretary may not enter into a contract under this subchapter with any such school or training center unless the school, training center, or graduate program furnishes assurances satisfactory to the Secretary that it will not discriminate on the basis of sex in the admission of individuals to its training programs. In the case of a school of medicine which—
on October 13, 1992, is in the process of changing its status as an institution which admits only female students to that of an institution which admits students without regard to their sex, and
is carrying out such change in accordance with a plan approved by the Secretary,
the provisions of the preceding sentences of this section shall apply only with respect to a grant, contract, loan guarantee, or interest subsidy to, or for the benefit of such a school for a fiscal year beginning after June 30, 1979.
