 Subpart D_Discrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or 

                          Activities Prohibited

 

Sec. 101-4.425  Counseling and use of appraisal and counseling materials.



    (a) Counseling. A recipient shall not discriminate against any 

person on the basis of sex in the counseling or guidance of students or 

applicants for admission.

    (b) Use of appraisal and counseling materials. A recipient that uses 

testing or other materials for appraising or counseling students shall 

not use different materials for students on the basis of their sex or 

use materials that permit or require different treatment of students on 

such basis unless such different materials cover the same occupations 

and interest areas and the use of such different materials is shown to 

be essential to eliminate sex bias. Recipients shall develop and use 

internal procedures for ensuring that such materials do not discriminate 

on the basis of sex. Where the use of a counseling test or other 

instrument results in a substantially disproportionate number of members 

of one sex in any particular course of study or classification, the 

recipient shall take such action as is necessary to assure itself that 

such disproportion is not the result of discrimination in the instrument 

or its application.

    (c) Disproportion in classes. Where a recipient finds that a 

particular class contains a substantially disproportionate number of 

individuals of one sex, the recipient shall take such action as is 

necessary to assure itself that such disproportion is not the result of 

discrimination on the basis of sex in counseling or appraisal materials 

or by counselors.
