DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Office of the Secretary
List of Institutions of Higher Education Ineligible for Federal
Funds
AGENCY: Department of Defense.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document is published to identify institutions of higher
education that are ineligible for contracts and grants by reason of a
determination by the Secretary of Defense that the institution prevents
military recruiter access to the campus or students or maintains a
policy against ROTC. It also implements the requirements set forth in
the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997 and 32 CFR Part
216. The institutions of higher education so identified are:
Washington College of Law of American University, Washington, DC
William Mitchell College of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota
Recently, the following institution of higher education reported
modifications to school policies sufficient to merit removal from the
list of ineligible schools.
Willamette University College of Law, Salem, Oregon
The Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997 provides that
schools prohibited by state laws or court rulings from providing the
requisite degree of access for ROTC or military recruiting would not be
denied funding prior to one year following the effective date of that
aw (i.e., not until March 29, 1998). However, that provision applies
only to funds from agencies other than the Department of Defense, which
is bound by provisions of the National Defense Authorization Acts for
Fiscal Years 1995 and 1996. Therefore, the Secretary of Defense has
determined that the following institutions of higher education prevent
recruiter access to campuses, students, or student information and are
ineligible for DoD contracts and grants.
Asnuntuck Community-Technical College, Enfield, Connecticut
Capital Community-Technical College, Hartford, Connecticut
Central Connecticut State University, New Britain, Connecticut

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 8, 1997 (62 FR 16694), the
Department of Defense published 32 CFR part 216 as an interim rule.
This rule and the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997,
requires the Department of Defense semi-annually to publish a list of
the institutions of higher education ineligible for Federal funds. 32
CFR part 216 and the Secretary of Defense under 108 Stat. 2663, 10
U.S.C. 983, and 110 Stat. 3009 and/or this part identifies institutions
of higher education that have a policy or practice that either
prohibits, or in effect prevents, the Secretary of Defense from
obtaining, for military recruiting purposes, entry to campuses, access
to students on campuses, access to directory information on students or
that has an anti-ROTC policy. On August 28, 1997 (62 FR 45631), the
Department of Defense published a list of the institutions of higher
education ineligible for Federal Funding; this listing updates and
supersedes that listing.
Dated: September 30, 1997.
