institution that effectively prevents,
the Secretary of Defense from obtaining
for military recruiting purposes:  (A)
entry to campuses or access to students
on campuses; or (B) access to directory
information pertaining to students.  If
the recipient is determined, using
procedures established by the Secretary
of Defense to implement Section 558 of
Public Law 103-337 (1994), to be such an
institution during the period of
performance of this agreement, and
therefore to be in breach of this
clause, the Government will cease all
payments of DOD funds under this
agreement and all other DOD grants and
cooperative agreements, and it may
suspend or terminate such grants and
agreements unilaterally for material
failure to comply with the terms and
conditions of award.
