DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

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. The

institutions of higher education so

identified are:

Washington College of Law of American

University, Washington, DC

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

William Mitchell College of Law, St. Paul,

Minnesota

Recently, officials from the following

institutions of higher education reported

modifications to school policies

sufficient to merit removal from the list

of ineligible schools.

City College of San Francisco, San Francisco,

California

Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul,

Minnesota

Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio

Mills College, Oakland, California

Ohio Northern University College of Law,

Ada, Ohio

The Omnibus Consolidated

Appropriations Act of 1997 provides

that schools prohibited by state laws or

court rulings from providing the

requisite degree of access for ROTC or

military recruiting 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

Acts for Fiscal Years 1995 and 1996.

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.

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. On July 15, 1997 (62

FR 37890), the Department of Defense

published a list of the institutions of

higher education ineligible for Federal

Funding; this listing updates and

supersedes that listing.
