Section 715-011-0025 - Prohibition in Admission

(1) No person shall, on a prohibited basis, be denied admission or be subject to discrimination in admission to a post-secondary education program or career school.

(2) Each school, department or college in any post-secondary education program or career school that has an independent admissions process, or one supplementary to the programs admissions process, is considered an administratively separate unit for admission purposes and may not discriminate unreasonably on any of the prohibited bases (i.e., age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, national origin, race, religion, veterans' status).

(3) No test or other criterion for admission that unreasonably differentiates among individuals on a prohibited basis shall be used, unless the use of the test or criterion is shown to be a valid means of predicting success in the educational program, and other suitable tests or criteria not having such an adverse effect are shown to be unavailable.

(4) No preference in admission shall be given one person over another on a prohibited basis, such as by ranking individuals on a prohibited basis.

(5) Numerical limitations on the number of proportion of persons to be admitted may not be established on a prohibited basis.

(6) In making admissions decisions, a post-secondary education program or school:

(a) Shall not apply any rule concerning marital, parental or family status of an applicant or student that treats individuals differently on a prohibited basis;

(b) Shall not consider pregnancy, childbirth, termination of pregnancy or recovery therefrom to determine eligibility for admission, unless on a case-by-case basis the health of an individual relates directly to the capacity to participate effectively in activities necessary to the program. Such determinations shall be treated no differently than other health conditions;

(c) Shall not make pre-admission inquiry as to marital status of an application for admission, including whether such applicant is "Miss" or "Mrs."
