                         Subpart A--Introduction
 
Sec. 86.9  Dissemination of policy.

    (a) Notification of policy. (1) Each recipient shall implement 
specific and continuing steps to notify applicants for admission and 
employment, students and parents of elementary and secondary school 
students, employees, sources of referral of applicants for admission and 
employment, and all unions or professional organizations holding 
collective bargaining or professional agreements with the recipient, 
that it does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the educational 
programs or activities which it operates, and that is required by title 
IX and this part not to discriminate in such a manner. Such notification 
shall contain such information, and be made in such manner, as the 
Director finds necessary to apprise such persons of the protections 
against discrimination assured them by title IX and this part, but shall 
state at least that the requirement not to discriminate in education 
programs and activities extends to employment therein, and to admission 
thereto unless Subpart C does not apply to the recipient, and that 
inquiries concerning the application of title IX and this part to such 
recipient may be referred to the employee designated pursuant to Sec. 
86.8, or to the Director.
    (2) Each recipient shall make the initial notification required by 
paragraph (a) (1) of this section within 90 days of the effective date 
of this part or of the date this part first applies to such recipient, 
whichever comes later, which notification shall include publication in:
    (i) Local newspapers;
    (ii) Newspapers and magazines operated by such recipient or by 
student, alumnae, or alumni groups for or in connection with such 
recipient; and
    (iii) Memoranda or other written communications distributed to every 
student and employee of such recipient.
    (b) Publications. (1) Each recipient shall prominently include a 
statement of the policy described in paragraph (a) of this section in 
each announcement, bulletin, catalog, or application form which it makes 
available to any person of a type, described in paragraph (a) of this 
section, or which is otherwise used in connection with the recruitment 
of students or employees.
    (2) A recipient shall not use or distribute a publication of the 
type described in this paragraph which suggests, by text or 
illustration, that such recipient treats applicants, students, or 
employees differently on the basis of sex except as such treatment is 
permitted by this part.
    (c) Distribution. Each recipient shall distribute without 
discrimination on the basis of sex each publication described in 
paragraph (b) of this section, and shall apprise each of its admission 
and employment recruitment representatives of the policy of 
nondiscrimination described in paragraph (a) of this section, and 
require such representatives to adhere to such policy.
