Grove City College v. Bell, 465 U.S. 555 (1984), was a case in which the United States Supreme Court held that Title IX, which only applies to colleges and universities that receive federal funds, could be applied to a private school that refused direct federal funding, but where a large number of students had received federally funded scholarships. The Court also held that the federal government could require a statutorily mandated "assurance of compliance" with Title IX, even though no evidence had been presented to suggest that Grove City College had discriminated in any way. However, the Court also held that the regulation would only apply to the institution's financial aid department, not to the school as a whole.
While Hillsdale College was not a party to this case, the result of this case directly influenced that insitituton to decline all federal aid starting with the fall 1984 semester – a practice that continues today. Grove City followed suit in 1988, establishing a loan program with PNC Bank instead.
