...rumors flew hot and heavy in Washington. President Carter, education insiders believed, would name someone with experience in state education programs to head the department--someone like former New Mexico Gov. Jerry Apodaca, a Chicano, or Mary F. Berry, under secretary in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), a Black woman...
Hufstedler has labored under less-than-ideal circumstances, trying to coordinate 152 separate programs, many of which (131) come from the old Office of Education in HEW but some drawn from departments as diverse as Labor, Agriculture, Defense and Justice. With employees under no less than 14 different roofs and headquarters shared by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Hufstedler's task would have confounded even the most experienced of Washington hands. Her critics say she had been slow to reform the bureaucracy, but Hufstedler faced with the unpleasant task of unraveling a third of HEW, perhaps the largest bureaucracy...
While Grove City was getting no direct federal aid, its students were receiving some $618,000 a year total in individual loans and $110,000 in Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOG). Unless Form 639A was filled out and returned, warned HEW, the Government would cut off all that money. Given such a threat, Grove City College and four students sued to block the HEW action...
...college, since students (or parents) ultimately pay them back. As to BEOG money, while it does go to the college, Simmons ruled that the Government has no legal right to penalize individual students as "a remedy for coercing the college." In perhaps the unkindest cut of all, Simmons declared HEW guilty of bad forms. Number 639A technically should not be used to check up on Title IX compliance, said he, because it contains a passage about sexual discrimination in faculty hiring, though Title IX applies only to students...
G.C.C. staged a sinful victory celebration: an orgy of ice cream sundaes served to the entire student body. In Washington HEW declined to comment on the decision. HEW may or may not appeal. But the issue will be hotly contested if it ever winds up in court again, for the question of federal influence in U.S. colleges troubles academics as deeply as Title IX compliance concerns the Government. As for Form 639A, even though 19,500 completed copies are now sitting in HEW files, a new version will no doubt come rattling through some bureaucratic typewriter...
