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 (under 21) students shall be granted only if the householder agrees in writing to rent to all students on the basis of individual merit and without restrictions on the basis of race, creed, color or national origin. 

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 agrees in writing to accept student tenants on the basis of their merits as persons and without exclusion on the basis of race, creed, color, or national origin.

4. In any case of a proven violation of this standard of fair housing, sanctions(actions) ranging from further educational measures to removal from University listing services (approved registry) (which requires) to asking or requiring students to move from facilities requiring approval in which discrimination exists shall be applied. 

In order to insure that the rights of all parties will be adequately protected, procedures have been formulated for the filling , investigating, and hearing of complaints involving discrimination. Such procedures are designed to insure all parties concerned an adequate and fair opportunity to present their case. The following procedures are recommended:

RULES FOR CONSIDERING COMPLAINTS OF DISCRIMINATION IN THE RENTING OF APARTMENTS AND ROOMS. 

1, Any student or staff member of the State University of Iowa shall have standing to complain that his bona fide application for rental of an apartment or room in Iowa City, Iowa or environs has been denied principally because of his race, color, creed, or national origin. In order to be considered a complaint must be made within sixty (60) days after the alleged discriminatory refusal to rent.
