ERIC TITLE NUMBER: ED203734 AUTHOR: Fishbein, Estelle A.; Blumer, Dennis H.
TITLE: Report of the Task Force on De-Regulation
Initiatives.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1981
NOTE: 37 p.; Submitted to the Presidential Task Force on
Regulatory Relief, May 1, 1981.
ABSTRACT: In response to a request by the Presidential Task
Force on Regulatory Relief, this report offers specific
recommendations for reform of federal regulations. A cover
letter explains the constraints imposed by the recommended
format: that the report is unable to address adequately the
area of federal regulatory activity generating the most
adverse criticism from college and university
counsel--i.e.,
the present mode of enforcement of the laws, Executive
Orders, and regulations pertaining to prohibited
discrimination. The issues are not presented in priority
order. The regulations addressed include: executive order
for affirmative action in federal contracts; prohibition of
sex discrimination in employment, and equity in pay;
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; sexual
harrassment in employment; debarment and suspension of
eligibility for financial assistance; three federal student
financial aid programs (National Direct Student Loans,
College Work-Study, and Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants); the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act of 1974 (privacy of student records);
administrative procedures for reporting on all federal
student assistance programs; Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972 (sex discrimination, especially
in athletics and employment); and Veterans Administration
programs affecting colleges and universities (especially
reporting requirements, course eligibility, aid payments,
the 85-15 attendance rule, and overpayments). For each
regulation covered, these elements are included in the
report format: agency source of the rule, specific
citation, description of problems, estimated cost, other
possible impact, proposed solution, and name and address of
originator. (MSE)
