Sec. 618.230  Transition plans.



    (a) Submission of plans. An institution to which Sec. 618.225 

applies and that is composed of more than one administratively separate 

unit may submit either a single transition plan applicable to all such 

units, or a separate transition plan applicable to each such unit.

    (b) Content of plans. In order to be approved by the Secretary of 

Education, a transition plan shall:

    (1) State the name, address, and Federal Interagency Committee on 

Education Code of the educational institution submitting such plan, the 

administratively separate units to which the plan is applicable, and the 

name, address, and telephone number of the person to whom questions 

concerning the plan may be addressed. The person who submits the plan 

shall be the chief administrator or president of the institution, or 

another individual legally authorized to bind the institution to all 

actions set forth in the plan.

    (2) State whether the educational institution or administratively 

separate unit admits students of both sexes as regular students and, if 

so, when it began to do so.

    (3) Identify and describe with respect to the educational 

institution or administratively separate unit any obstacles to admitting 

students without discrimination on the basis of sex.

    (4) Describe in detail the steps necessary to eliminate as soon as 

practicable each obstacle so identified and indicate the schedule for 

taking these steps and the individual directly responsible for their 

implementation.

    (5) Include estimates of the number of students, by sex, expected to 

apply for, be admitted to, and enter each class during the period 

covered by the plan.

    (c) Nondiscrimination. No policy or practice of a recipient to which 

Sec. 618.225 applies shall result in treatment of applicants to or 

students of such recipient in violation of Sec. Sec. 618.300 through 

618.310 unless such treatment is necessitated by an obstacle identified 

in paragraph (b)(3) of this section and a schedule for eliminating that 

obstacle has been provided as required by paragraph (b)(4) of this 

section.

    (d) Effects of past exclusion. To overcome the effects of past 

exclusion of students on the basis of sex, each educational institution 

to which Sec. 618.225 applies shall include in its transition plan, and 

shall implement, specific steps designed to encourage individuals of the 

previously excluded sex to apply for admission to such institution. Such 

steps shall include instituting recruitment programs that emphasize the 

institution's commitment to enrolling students of the sex previously 

excluded.
