153.50 COUNSELING

(Revised August 15, 1994)

153.51
Each campus must evaluate its practices and policies with regard to academic and career counseling and assure itself that such counseling is not done on the basis of sex. Further, if a campus finds, by means of an annual review of enrollment data by sex, that any one class or program has a disproportionate participation by one sex, that campus must assure itself that such participation is not the result of sex discrimination in counseling.

153.52
In addition, each campus must assure itself, by a review thereof, that the tests and other materials which it uses in its counseling programs are the same for both sexes. Only when counseling is being used to eliminate previous sex bias, may different materials be used (for example, academic or career counseling for women in fields with disproportionate representation). If upon evaluation it is determined that the tests or materials being used to counsel students have the effect of channeling a substantially disproportionate number of persons of one sex into a particular program or course of study, alternative materials must be used.
