the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity of the Signatory receiving Federal financial

Education), or any other Federal agency. This assurance applies whether assistance is given directly to the recipient or indirectly
through benefits paid to a student, trainee, or other beneficiary because of enrollment or participation in a program of the
Signatory.
The Signatory HEREBY GIVES ASSURANCE that it will promptly take measures to effect this agreement.
If any real property or structure thereon is provided or improved with the aid of Federal financial assistance extended to the
Signatory or ED, this assurance shall obligate the Signatory, or in the case of transfer of such property any transferee, for the
period during which the real property or structure is used for a purpose for which the Federal financial assistance is extended or for
another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits. In all cases, this assurance shall obligate the Signatory for
the period during which the Federal financial assistance is extended to any of its programs by VA, ED or any other Federal
agency.
THIS ASSURANCE is given in consideration of and for the purpose of obtaining Federal financial assistance, including facilities
furnished or payments made under sections 104 and 244(1) of Title 38, U.S.C. Also, sections 1713, 1720, 1720A, 1741-1743,

contingent upon the beneficiary's enrollment in a program or using services offered by the Signatory.
The Signatory agrees that Federal financial assistance or other benefits will be extended in reliance on the representations and
agreements made in this assurance; that VA or ED will withhold financial assistance, facilities, or other benefits to assure
compliance with the equal opportunity laws; and that the United States shall have the right to seek judicial enforcement of this
assurance.
THIS ASSURANCE is binding on the Signatory, its successors, transferees, and assignees for the period during which assistance
is provided. The Signatory assures that all contractors, subcontractors, subgrantees, or others with whom it arranges to provide
services or benefits to its students or trainees in connection with the Signatory's programs or services are not discriminating against
those students or trainees in violation of the above statutes.
