Proposed Nondiscrimination Rule For Private School Admissions, Financial Assistance, And Other Programs

The IRS has proposed new regulations that would impose nondiscrimination requirements on private schools seeking to maintain their tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3). These regulations would prohibit policies discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national or ethnic origin in admissions, financial assistance, and other school programs.
