Sec. 1250.103-4  Illustrative applications.



    (a) In training grant services discrimination is forbidden in the 

selection or eligibility of individuals to be trained and in their 

treatment by the grantee during their training. In any case where 

selection is made from a predetermined group, such as the students in an 

institution, the group must have been selected without discrimination.

    (b) In a research or training grant to a university for activities 

to be conducted in a graduate school, discrimination in the admission 

and treatment of students in the graduate school is prohibited and the 

prohibition extends to the entire university.

    (c) Discrimination in the treatment of students or other trainees 

includes the prohibition of discrimination among the students or 

trainees in the availability or use of any academic, dormitory, eating, 

recreational, or other facilities of the grantee or other recipient.

    (d) In a research or training grant, discrimination is prohibited 

with respect to the availability of any educational activity and any 

provision of medical or other services and any financial aid to 

individuals incident to the grant.

    (e) Upon transfers of real or personal property for research or 

educational uses, discrimination is forbidden to the same extent as in 

the case of grants for the construction of facilities or the provision 

of equipment for like purposes.

    (f) In some situations even though past discriminatory practices 

have been abandoned, the consequences of such practices continue to 

impede the full availability of a benefit. If the efforts required of 

the applicant or recipient under Sec. 1250.105 to provide information 

as to the availability of the program or activity, and the rights of 

beneficiaries under this regulation, have failed to overcome these 

consequences, it will become necessary for such applicant or recipient 

to take additional steps to make the benefits fully available to racial 

and nationality groups previously subjected to discrimination. This 

action might take the form, for example, of special arrangements for 

obtaining referrals or making selections which will insure that groups 

previously subjected to discrimination are adequately served.

    (g) Even though an applicant or recipient has never used 

discriminatory policies, the services and benefits of the program or 

activity it administers may not in fact be equally available to some 

racial or nationality groups. In such circumstances an applicant or 

recipient may properly give special consideration to race, color, or 

national origin to make the benefits of its program more widely 

available to such groups, not then being adequately served. For example, 

where a university is not adequately serving members of a particular 

racial or nationality group, it may establish special recruitment 

policies to make its program better known and more readily available to 

such group, and take other steps to provide that group with more 

adequate service.
