To be fair, unlike Biden at Drexel, Pence will actually teach a course there.
Isn’t Grove City an institution that doesn’t take federal funds?
RE: Isn’t Grove City an institution that doesn’t take federal funds?
Yes, it is well known for refusing Federal funds. One of the handful of private colleges like Hillsdale College.
There was a well known case that went to the Supreme Court known as: Grove City College v. Bell in 1984. It’s a significant case concerning Title IX and how it applies to educational institutions.
Here’s a breakdown of the case:
* The Issue: Grove City College challenged the application of Title IX, a law prohibiting gender discrimination in federally funded education programs. The college argued that since they refused direct federal funding, Title IX shouldn’t apply to them, even though many students received federal financial aid.
* The Court’s Decision: The Supreme Court sided against Grove City College in a 6-3 decision. The Court ruled that Title IX could apply to the entire institution if a significant number of its students received federal aid, even if the college itself didn’t take direct funding.
* The Aftermath: This decision had a big impact. Grove City College opted to withdraw from federal financial aid programs altogether rather than comply with Title IX regulations.
In response, Congress passed the Civil Rights Restoration Act to expand Title IX’s reach, but it was vetoed by President Reagan.
The Grove City College v. Bell case remains a debated topic, particularly regarding the scope of Title IX and the balance between federal regulations and institutional autonomy.
Yes, GC is independent, no federal money so they don’t have to adhere to title IX and whatever other nonsense DC pushes. I had wanted their to go there, but she went to the Sekulows alma mater :)
