1960-04-20 Policies Related to Discrimination in Off-Campus Housing Page 4

University of Illinois

"The University administration encourages non-discriminatory practices in commercially operated rooming houses. However, health, safety, and moral standards are recognized as the basic criteria for approved housing. 

The University administration encourages those who serve the general student body to treat all students alike, regardless of race,creed or national origin. 

The University will approve no new privately operated student rooming house unless the owner agrees to make its facilities available to all students without discrimination with respect to race, or religion. These provisions do not apply to a house which is the private home of the owner and in which no more than three rooms are rented."

University of Michigan

"The University will not permit its services to be used in the rental or sale of housing to its students by owners who discriminate because of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, or ancestry. In cases where the services are used by owners and complaints of discrimination are received by the University, investigation will follow as to the validity of the complaint. If discrimination has occurred, further use of service will be denied until the University has received assurances that such discrimination has been discontinued. 

The only exception to the above regulation will be in the investigation of complaints in the case of persons providing housing in their own homes for not more than two students. This exception does not imply University approval or condonation of discriminatory practices by such persons but rather a recognition of the greater difficulty in fairly appraising the motives of householders."

Indiana University

"The policy of Indiana University is to provide its facilities and services to its students and the general public without regard to race, religion , or national origin. It feels that such a policy of non-discrimination represents the democratic ideal in practice and results in better personal business relations within the community. Therefore, the University encourages and expects the adoption of the same policy by all persons and businesses serving members of the University family."
