ABSTRACT: Administrators were interviewed at Franklin and
Marshall College, a small private liberal arts college in
Pennsylvania, to learn the impact of federal regulation on
the institution. These issues were discussed: (1) what
federal regulations affect the interviewee's
responsibilities and which are of greatest concern; (2) how
the interviewee assesses the costs and benefits of the
regulations; (3) ways in which the tone and operation of
the offices have changed; (4) what files or position papers
might aid in analyzing the changes; (5) how regulations
have shaped the college as an institution; and (6) how the
interviewee assesses the administration of the regulations
and their general consequences. A discussion of the survey
results includes the following issues and elements:
financial and time costs; regulatory costs and the
institution as an employer; occupational safety; physical
plant; legal costs; the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act; the college as a nonprofit institution; Internal
Revenue Service reports and rules; nondiscrimination
regulations; the Higher Education General Information
Survey; sex discrimination and Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972; equal employment; the Buckley Amendment
on confidentiality of student records; certifications of
student enrollment status for various government purposes;
enrollment of veterans; student aid programs; and
affirmative action. Regulations and the college's future
are discussed. (MSE)
