As a state institution receiving federal funding, Midstate University cannot fund organizations that discriminate upon race. However, if the university wishes to extend the same prohibition against individuals based upon sexual orientation, they must add this to the university's own set of written policies and guidelines. Discrimination is prohibited on the basis of race, color, and national origin by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; sex discrimination by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972; discrimination on the basis of disability is prohibited by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and age discrimination is prohibited by the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, but not discrimination based upon sexual orientation (Discrimination in education, 2009, Findlaw).
