§ 47.74. Preadmission inquiries.
(a) A ‘‘religious or denominational educational institution’’ may request an applicant, prior to admission, to state whether he is a member of the particular religion or denomination as that of the institution to which the student is applying for admission. Thus, a Baptist-supported school may ask, prior to admission, ‘‘Are you Baptist?’’ and a Catholic-supported school may ask, prior to admission, ‘‘Are you Catholic?’’ but neither may ask, prior to admission, ‘‘What is your religion?’’
(b) A religious or denominational educational institution may not ask an applicant, prior to admission, questions which may reveal the race, color, ancestry or national origin of the applicant, nor may an institution request an applicant, prior to admission, to submit a photograph.
