Sec.  3.550  Sex as a bona fide occupational qualification.



    A recipient may take action otherwise prohibited by Sec. Sec.  3.500 

through 3.550 provided it is shown that sex is a bona fide occupational 

qualification for that action, such that consideration of sex with 

regard to such action is essential to successful operation of the 

employment function concerned. A recipient shall not take action 

pursuant to this section that is based upon alleged comparative 

employment characteristics or stereotyped characterizations of one or 

the other sex, or upon preference based on sex of the recipient, 

employees, students, or other persons, but nothing contained in this 

section shall prevent a recipient from considering an employee's sex in 

relation to employment in a locker room or toilet facility used only by 

members of one sex.
