McKinney said July 21, 1977 was the outside deadline for being in compliance with Title IX.

McKinney explained, "Now if this situation was to be checked into completely, a complaint would have to be filed by someone at the university.

NAJJ is presently in violation of Title
IX, the federal regulation which
prohibits sex discrimination in federally
assisted institutions of higher education,
according to a high ranking official in the
Washington D.C. Office for Civil Rights.
Dr. VIrgil Gillenwater and Dr. Robert
Dickeson agree however, that building
new campus housing within the time
limit stipulated by Title IX would be impossible
and that other alternatives may
have to be sought.
Roy McKinney, national director of
the Higher Education branch of the Office
for Civil Rights, said NAU is
currently in violation of Title IX on two
counts.
McKinney said the first violation involves
discrimination against NAU
fraternities since they are not offered
housing which is comparable to what the
NAU sororities presently have. The second
violation involves discrimination
against all men students attending NAU
Since the deadline for compliance with
Title IX is July 21, 1977, and since most
university sources indicate it would take
longer than that to construct new
housing which would enable the university
to be in compliance with Title IX,
NAU sororities could- be kicked out of
Raymond Hall and be forced to find off
campus housing.
This action. as well as a chan~re back to
married housing for South Quad could
result in an effort to keep NAU from
losing its federal aid.
McKinney said July 21, 1977 was the
outside deadline for being in compliance
with Title IX.
"If it is possible for a university to
come into compliance sooner than the
three year deadline, our office can
stipulate a date by which the university
must be in compliance on a particular
issue," he said.
Not final
McKinney also said, "This is not a
final, official ruling on my part; I can't
give those over the phone. But, I would
expect that if the institutioa provides
housing for one social organization, and
not for another of a different se1, that
would constitute a violation of Title IX."
He also added his opinion regarding
women students at NA U baving access to
~partment-style housing (South Quad)

the federal regulation.

filed by someone at the university. A
federal investigator from the San Francisco
regional office (for civil rights)
would visit the campus, make a formal
report, and then a final ruling would be
made."

Martin Bolas, MIHC president, said he
is going to consider the possibility of
filing such a complaint when he meets
with his council later this month. He said
if a complaint were filed, it would be on
behalf of all men students who cannot
presently gain access to apartment-style
housing.
Ro~r~ Holt~pple, equal opportunity
