Stanley Pottinger, Director of the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S.Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) to Ernest L. Wilkinson, President of Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah. The original letter, dated March 5, 1971, informs President Wilkinson that BYU's policy of "giving preference to Mormons for faculty and administrative positions" did not constitute religious discrimination to the Office of Federal Contract Compliance, and determined that "affiliation with the Mormon Church is a bona fide occupational qualification for faculty members and administrators" reasons including the foundation of BYU as a University "to provide education a a religious setting which permeates the entire life of the school," that faculty members are sometimes recruited from other colleges to teach courses in Mormon theology, that faculty and administrators are tasked with serving as leaders in wards and states at BYU, that students requesting counsel from faculty and administrators should receive counsel that aligns with BYU's "desires that such advice be consistent with the Church's principles," that teaching needs to be done by those familiar with Mormon principles, and that the university encourages participation with the Mormon Church from faculty and administrators. Pottinger concludes by noting that even though this preference has not been labeled as discrimination, any discrimination "with regard to race, color, sex, or national origin" would prompt "affirmative action" from the federal government.<p>This letter was shared with University of Richmond President E. Bruce Heilman by Assistant to the President &amp; Director of Estate Planning Charles W. Patterson, III on July 4, 1973, it was given to Patterson by Asbner McCall. Heilman shared it with James L. Ferrel on July 5, 1973, noting: "I think you ought to keep this in your file as we consider our own situation as it relates to some of my concerns that we not be penalized for religious tie. Founded as a Baptist seminary in 1830, the University of Richmond would not entirely separate from the Baptist church until 1999.</p> Subject The topic of the resource Baptist associations Brigham Young University Discrimination in employment Labor policy Mormon Church Religion Religious discrimination United States.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1964-07-06 Type The nature or genre of the resource Text Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource correspondence Description An account of the resource In this “Important Notice,” from the National Science Foundation, Director Leland J. Haworth addressed Presidents of Colleges and Universities, Presidents of Professional Societies and Academies of Science, Heads of Institutes and other non-profit organizations. This letter was mailed to President Modlin. In this letter, Haworth discussed President Lyndon B. Johnson’s signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law on July 2, 1964. Title VI of the Act states that “No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal funding assistance” (Section 601). He then discussed Section 602 which calls for rules and regulations to carry out this new Act. Haworth goes on, saying that when the Foundation’s regulations are issued, grants and contracts are subject to review, under the new regulations, whether grantees or contractors are meeting the new requirements and are eligible to continue receiving federal assistance. He suggests that institutions may review their policies and practices to ensure they can provide assurance with the compliance of the new regulations. Haworth ends the letter by saying that he believes educational and research institutions will exercise leadership effectively in this step toward equal opportunity under the law, and that the Foundation is ready to discuss the application of the new regulations to programs of the Foundation with any institution.

Seaborg of the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) stated that the AEC issued a new regulation which prohibited discrimination in any program or activity receiving financial assistance from the AEC. It was implemented Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 , which directed every Federal agency having the power to grant financial assistance to issue regulations to ensure this portion of the Civil Rights Act was effectively carried out. The new addition to the AEC’s regulations, Title 10, Code of Regulations, Part 4, stated that there would be “Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Commission Programs.” This regulation applied to money paid, property transferred, or other AEC financial assistance. It applied to assistance before and after the effective date, as well as assistance such as AEC-authorized grants, loans, or contracts where the terms required compliance with the regulation. This regulation had been approved by the President. The assurance did not apply to assistance of insurance or guarantee contracts. This assurance was binding on the University, its successors, transferees, signees, and the person whose signatures appear on the signature portion of the letter. Though two copies of this letter were included, only one needed to be returned to the General Manager of the Atomic Energy Commission.

Modlin wrote as a follow up to a telephone conversation the two had had earlier in the week in regards to the relationship between the university and the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) Office of Civil Rights. Modlin shared all the correspondence the university had shared with HEW. Modlin stated that the "University has cooperated in good faith and has complied with all recommendations of that Office until the receipt of the recent letter which became public a few days ago." On October 5, 1970, the Richmond Times-Dispatch had published an article in regards to a letter from Dr. Eloise Severinson, Regional Director for HEW's Office of Civil Rights (<a href="http://memory.richmond.edu/items/show/2508" target="_blank">available here</a>).

Dr. Severinson's original communication included suggestions for how the University of Richmond could better comply with the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
