153.00 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES

(Revised August 15, 1994)

153.10 Access to Course Offerings

153.11

Except as provided in this Policy, all educational programs or activities offered by the University, including physical education, ROTC, and music classes must be offered without discrimination on the basis of sex.

153.12

With regard to physical education classes, there may be a separation of students by sex within the class activities involving physical contact as their major activity or purpose (for example, wrestling, football, and rugby). In addition, students may be grouped within classes according to ability, as measured by objective standards applied without regard to sex (for example, weight training). In cases where a single standard of grading in physical education classes has a disproportionately adverse effect upon one sex, the instructor must use alternative standards which do not have such an effect.

153.13

With regard to music classes, requirements of vocal range or quality may be used in selection of choruses, which may result in choruses of one or predominantly one sex.
