subjected to discrimination in admission, by any recipient to which 

Sec.  Sec.  19.300 through Sec.  Sec.  19.310 apply, except as provided in 

Sec.  Sec.  19.225 and Sec.  Sec.  19.230.

    (b) Specific prohibitions. (1) In determining whether a person 

satisfies any policy or criterion for admission, or in making any offer 

of admission, a recipient to which Sec.  Sec.  19.300 through 19.310 

apply shall not:

    (i) Give preference to one person over another on the basis of sex, 

by ranking applicants separately on such basis, or otherwise;

    (ii) Apply numerical limitations upon the number or proportion of 

persons of either sex who may be admitted; or

    (iii) Otherwise treat one individual differently from another on the 

basis of sex.

    (2) A recipient shall not administer or operate any test or other 

criterion for admission that has a disproportionately adverse effect on 

persons on the basis of sex unless the use of such test or criterion is 

shown to predict validly success in the education program or activity in 

question and alternative tests or criteria that do not have such a 

disproportionately adverse effect are shown to be unavailable.

    (c) Prohibitions relating to marital or parental status. In 

determining whether a person satisfies any policy or criterion for 

admission, or in making any offer of admission, a recipient to which 

Sec.  Sec.  19.300 through 19.310 apply:

    (1) Shall not apply any rule concerning the actual or potential 

parental, family, or marital status of a student or applicant that 

treats persons differently on the basis of sex;

    (2) Shall not discriminate against or exclude any person on the 

basis of pregnancy, childbirth, termination of pregnancy, or recovery 

therefrom, or establish or follow any rule or practice that so 

discriminates or excludes;

    (3) Subject to Sec.  19.235(d), shall treat disabilities related to 

pregnancy, childbirth, termination of pregnancy, or recovery therefrom 

in the same manner and under the same policies as any other temporary 

disability or physical condition; and

    (4) Shall not make pre-admission inquiry as to the marital status of 

an applicant for admission, including whether such applicant is ``Miss'' 

or ``Mrs.'' A recipient may make pre-admission inquiry as to the sex of 

an applicant for admission, but only if such inquiry is made equally of 

such applicants of both sexes and if the results of such inquiry are not 

used in connection with discrimination prohibited by these Title IX 

regulations.
