ABSTRACT: As an aid to college administrators, information
is presented on the following regulations: (1) Protection
of Human Subjects; (2) Title IX of the Educational
Amendments of 1972; (3) the Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970; and (4) Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964. The purpose of the guide is to sensitize
administrators to the central issues involved in each
regulation and to provide a desk-top reference that will
permit judgments as to whether the matter should be
pursued. In regard to the regulations on the protection of
human subjects, institutions are directed to establish an
Institutional Review Committee to determine subject risks,
and noncompliance may result in termination of the federal
grant or contract. The regulations pertaining to the
Educational Amendments of 1972 (prohibiting discrimination
in federally-aided educational programs) include the areas
of coverage, admission of students, treatment of students,
employment, and procedures. In regard to the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970, public colleges and
universities are excluded from the federal requirements and
are only subject to work safety requirements if their
states have approved plans. The regulations set extensive
standards for programs, materials, and facilities. The
purpose of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act was to
eliminate widespread discrimination against blacks and
other minorities. A bibliography is included.
