Section 427 of GEPA
NOTICE TO ALL APPLICANTS
The purpose of this enclosure is to inform you about a
new provision in the Department of Education's General
Education Provisions Act (GEPA) that applies to
applicants for new grant awards under Department
programs. This provision is Section 427 of GEPA,
enacted as part of the Improving America's Schools Act
of 1994 (Public Law (P. L.) 103-382).

that are applicable to your circumstances. In addition,
the information may be provided in a single narrative,
or, if appropriate, may be discussed in connection with
related topics in the application.

requirements of civil rights statutes, but rather to ensure

participants in their native language.
What Does This Provision Require?
Section 427 requires each applicant for funds (other
than an individual person) to include in its application a
description of the steps the applicant proposes to take to
ensure equitable access to, and participation in, its
Federally-assisted program for students, teachers, and
other program beneficiaries with special needs. This
provision allows applicants discretion in developing the
required description. The statute highlights six types of
barriers that can impede equitable access or
participation: gender, race, national origin, color,
disability, or age. Based on local circumstances, you
should determine whether these or other barriers may
prevent your students, teachers, etc. from such access or
participation in, the Federally-funded project or activity.
The description in your application of steps to be taken
to overcome these barriers need not be lengthy; you may
provide a clear and succinct

instructional materials for classroom use might
describe how it will make the materials available on

(3) An applicant that proposes to carry out a model
science program for secondary students and is
concerned that girls may be less likely than boys to
enroll in the course, might indicate how it intends to
conduct "outreach" efforts to girls, to encourage
their enrollment.
We recognize that many applicants may already be
implementing effective steps to ensure equity of access
and participation in their grant programs, and we
appreciate your cooperation in responding to the
requirements of this provision.

TITLE III-STRENGTHENING INSTITUTIONS PROGRAM ABSTRACT
Methodist University
Fayetteville, North Carolina
Level, Control, Affiliation: Four-year, independent, private university; governed by a
38 member Board of Trustees; affiliated with the North Carolina Conference of the United
Methodist Church.
Primary Service Population: Methodist University (MU) is located in Fayetteville, North
Carolina (the 4th largest city in the state, with a population of over 250,000.) Approximately
sixty-four percent of MU students are in-state residents, with thirty-seven percent enrolling from
MU’s home county, Cumberland County. In addition, the University enrolls students from 41
states and 30 foreign countries.
Programs of Study: MU offers seventy undergraduate programs (including majors
concentrations) and three graduate programs, all firmly grounded in the liberal arts. Bachelor’s
degrees are offered in Arts and Humanities, Business, Information and Technology, Public
Affairs, and Science and Human Development. Three master’s degrees are offered in Business,
Justice Administration, and Physical Assistant Sciences.
Student Body Characteristics: Of the total Fall 2009 enrollment of 2,183 students, 2001 were
undergraduate and 182 were graduate students, with 86 percent attending fulltime and 14 percent
attending part-time. Gender distribution was 45 percent female, 55 percent male, with an
average age of 24. The racial/ethnic distribution was 48 percent Caucasian, 18 percent Black, 5
percent Hispanic, and 29 percent other/mixed race or ethnicity. 92 percent of the Fall 2009
student body received financial aid to assist in attaining their academic goals.
Faculty Characteristics: In 2009, Methodist University employed 129 fulltime faculty, 66
percent of whom had attained a terminal degree in their teaching field. MU also employed a
highly-qualified adjunct staff of 93 fulltime equivalents. The faculty-to-student ratio was 1-to-12.
Purpose of project: Methodist University will conduct a comprehensive five-year project,
Improving Academic Quality. The project is based on the three E’s provided by MU
stakeholders during strategic planning. With Title III assistance, we will create a vibrant MU
academic environment, a culture of excellence, through three inter-related initiatives: student
data management technology will engage faculty and staff across divisional and departmental
lines, and engage faculty and staff with students for essential, timely academic interventions;
instructional technology will enrich the learning experience for all students, with special
emphasis on our emerging nursing program as a model of collaborative, simulation-based, techinfused learning experiences; and end-user technology will empower students to take control of
their learning outcomes and give faculty and staff a robust tool to continue enhancing academic
programs and student services. Title III support is requested for approximately $400,000/year
for five years beginning October 1, 2010, with MU contributing over $550,000 in direct support
to insure project success.
