What did the Supreme Court decide in Grove City College v. Bell (1984)?
  1. Private colleges have the right, because they are private, to discriminate against whomever they wish without repercussions.
  2. Colleges must have equal accommodations for students with physical disabilities.
  3. Colleges must give an equal number of athletic scholarships to men and women.
  4. Colleges must abide by federal non-discrimination rules if they wish to receive federal funds.
  5. Colleges must admit students strictly on the basis of merit, and have no other consideration.
Explanation
Answer: D - In Grove City v. Bell the Supreme Court decided that, because the college received federal student aid money, it could not discriminate in granting student aid. The Court did, however, allow the college to discriminate in areas where they did not receive federal funds. In 1988 Congress passed a law stating that the college was not allowed to discriminate in any area if it received any federal funds.
