ABSTRACT: The impact of government legislation and
regulation on Wellesley College in Massachusetts is
analyzed. The impact of federal aid on the economics of the
college is considered in terms of capital resources and
operating resources. The analysis also considers the
effects of government legislation and regulation on capital
costs, first-time implementation costs, and continuing
operating expenses. The influence of government programs on
the character and the philosophy of the college is also
considered. Two highly visible areas of college/government
relations are student financial aid and civil rights. Civil
rights issues include: affirmative action and minority
employment, sex discrimination, the Buckley Amendment
(student records), age discrimination, and research on
human subjects. Other legislation and regulations affecting
higher education concern copyrights, the Higher Education
General Information Survey, occupational safety and health,
tax reform, gifts of stock to colleges, the Comprehensive
Employment and Training Act (CETA) program, and fair labor
standards. Various college officials' assessments of these
issues are presented. (S)
