A BILL
TO REQUIRE THE STATE-SUPPORTED INSTITUTIONS OF
HIGHER LEARNING ENUMERATED IN SECTION 59-107-10,
CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, AND THEIR
BRANCHES AND EXTENSIONS TO ACCEPT APPLICANTS
REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, RELIGION, SEX, OR
NATIONAL ORIGIN, AND TO PROVIDE THAT NO PERSON MAY
BE REFUSED ADMISSION INTO, OR BE EXCLUDED AS A PART-TIME, FULL-TIME, REGULAR, SPECIAL, OR EVENING
STUDENT FROM, ANY UNDERGRADUATE-LEVEL OR
GRADUATE-LEVEL CURRICULUM OR DEGREE PROGRAM
OFFERED BY THOSE INSTITUTIONS ON ACCOUNT OF RACE,
COLOR, RELIGION, SEX, OR NATIONAL ORIGIN.
Whereas, the General Assembly feels that the state-supported
institutions of higher learning enumerated in Section 59-107-10 of the
1976 Code, including their branches and extensions, should maintain
admissions policies which provide access to post-secondary education
in South Carolina and
which insure that post-secondary educational opportunities are not
denied to anyone. Now, therefore,
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The state-supported institutions of higher learning
enumerated in Section 59-107-10 of the 1976 Code, including their
branches and extensions, must accept applicants into their
undergraduate-level and graduate-level curricula and degree programs
as part-time, full-time, regular, special, and evening students regardless
of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin and no person may be
refused admission into, or be excluded as a part-time, full-time, regular,
special, or evening student from, any undergraduate-level or graduate-level curriculum or degree program offered by those institutions,
including their branches and extensions, on account of race, color,
religion, sex, or national origin.
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
