1963-03-31 Recommendations on Off-Campus Housing Page 2

2.

therefore, provide householders with the opportunity of extending a cordial welcome to students without regard to their race, color, creed, or national origin. Most of these householders desire to see this University lead the way toward ending bigotry. 

Because of the foregoing policy considerations the Committee on Human Rights recommends that:

1. It is and shall be the firm policy of the University that householders shall rent to all students on the basis of their individual merits as persons without exclusion or discrimination on the basis of race, creed, color, or national origin. 

2. After July 1, 1963, approval by the University, of any off-campus housing facilities for single undergraduate students under twenty one shall be granted when the householder has accepted in writing the conditions, policy, regulation, and standards for University approved off-campus housing as prescribed in the Code of Student life. 

3. In performing its service of listing available off-campus housing facilities for married students and single students over twenty one years of age (which do not require University approval) the Office of Student Affairs shall list only those facilities in which the owner or manager accepts in writing the condition, policy and standards for University as prescribed in the Code of Student life.

Such procedures are designed to insure all parties concerned an adequate and fair opportunity to present their case. The following procedures are recommended:

[Although these rules apply only to University listed or approved housing, the Committee will receive and investigate complaints as to discrimination in other housing. Although specific sanctions are not available in this other area, the Committee will, upon a finding of discrimination undertake conciliatory and educational activities toward its elimination.]
