...late is the U.S. government. Last June the Department of Health, Education and Welfare published a set of proposed regulations for the implementation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which forbids discrimination on the basis of sex in educational institutions on pain of losing federal funds. HEW invited comment on the regulations before publishing them in final form, and last month Harvard submitted its comments. These comments are largely the complaints of an institution being dragged forward against its will...
...fight against sex discrimination. As a result, one group of comments on the Title IX proposals is comprised of protests against detailed regulations, on grounds that such close supervision is unnecessary, and indeed sometimes offensive. The regulations require, for example, that institutions determine annually, by a method approved by HEW, what sports men and women students are interested in; Harvard complains that this is "an unnecessary interference in the internal operations of universities." The regulations also require that institutions include in all announcements, catalogs, bulletins and application forms a statement to the effect that it is not supposed...
...EFFECT OF these essentially irrelevant comments, if HEW pays attention to them, would be to narrow the regulations' scope, and to pare down HEW's enforcement ability. Once again, then, whether Harvard's suggestions are valid depends on whether Harvard can be trusted to implement Title IX without close supervision. In a third group of comments, those which claim that the regulations "do not provide sufficient safeguards for women," Harvard seeks to show that it can be trusted, and that indeed it is in a position to give advice on the matter. One of these comments objects to the prohibition...
Mound Bayou's latest trials began in 1973, when the Nixon Administration dismantled OEO and transferred its health-services program to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, which lacks the statutory authority to finance the hospital. HEW will continue to fund the outpatient programs conducted at Mound Bayou's health center. But the money to support the hospital is being cut off. By next June, all financial aid will...
...prevent infections from transfusions, hospitals in July 1973 were urged by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to use only blood volunteered by carefully selected donors. Furthermore, HEW asked hospitals to freeze most of the blood they do collect; that process not only increases safety by eliminating the white blood cells that can cause transfusion reactions but stretches the shelf life of blood. This in effect increases the available supply. Most hospitals have not yet been able to comply fully with HEW's request. But the half dozen or so that are nearing this goal consider their efforts...
