| Explanation | SHOWA BOSTON INSTITUTE FOR LANGUAGE AND CULTURE, INC. (SHOWA-BOSTON) IS AN ADJUNCT OF SHOWA WOMEN'S UNIVERSITY OF JAPAN (SHOWA-JAPAN) WHICH IS LOCATED IN TOKYO, JAPAN. SHOWA-JAPAN IS A LARGE JAPANESE UNIVERSITY DEDICATED TO EDUCATION. SHOWA-BOSTON IS THE UNITED STATES FACILITY THROUGH WHICH SHOWA-JAPAN PROVIDES JAPANESE STUDENTS WITH AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE SIMILAR TO THAT PROVIDED BY MANY AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES THROUGH VARIOUS PROGRAMS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES, OFTEN REFERRED TO AS "STUDY ABROAD" PROGRAMS. SHOWA-BOSTON IS OPERATED PRIMARILY FOR THE BENEFIT OF, AND TO FURTHER THE EDUCATIONAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF, SHOWA-JAPAN. SHOWA-JAPAN IS AN ESTABLISHED EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION FOR WOMEN WITH RIGOROUS ADMISSIONS CRITERIA. MOST OF ITS APPLICANTS ARE EDUCATED IN JAPAN. HOWEVER, APPLICANTS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN EDUCATED IN JAPAN, BUT WHOSE JAPANESE LANGUAGE SKILLS ARE SUFFICIENT TO PERMIT CLASSROOM PARTICIPATION, MAY APPLY WITHOUT RESTRICTION. JAPANESE LAW DOES NOT CONTAIN REQUIREMENTS SIMILAR TO THOSE APPLICABLE IN THE UNITED STATES RELATING TO DISCRIMINATION ON VARIOUS BASES NOR THE RELATED RECORDKEEPING AND PUBLICATION PROVISIONS. THEREFORE, SHOWA-JAPAN DOES NOT MAINTAIN A COMPILATION OF THE RACIAL COMPOSITION OF ITS STUDENT BODY OR OF ITS FACULTY AND STAFF. THE COMPOSITION OF THE STUDENT BODY, FACULTY AND STAFF OF THE JAPANESE INSTITUTION ARE OVERWHELMINGLY OF JAPANESE NATIONAL ORIGIN. THE RACIAL COMPOSITION OF THE STUDENT BODY OF SHOWA-BOSTON IS ALSO OVERWHELMINGLY OF JAPANESE NATIONAL ORIGIN AS THE STUDENTS PARTICIPATING ARE SELECTED PRIMARILY FROM THE STUDENT BODY OF SHOWA-JAPAN. SHOWA-JAPAN QUALIFIES AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY UNDER THE LAWS OF JAPAN. THOSE STATUTES, THE PRODUCT OF POST WORLD WAR II OCCUPATION INITIATIVES, DO NOT CONTAIN DISCRIMINATION PROVISIONS. THEREFORE, SHOWA-JAPAN HAS NO STATEMENT IN ITS CHARTER, BYLAWS, OR OTHER GOVERNING INSTRUMENT, OR IN A RESOLUTION OF ITS GOVERNING BODY, THAT IT HAS A RACIALLY NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY AS TO ITS STUDENTS OR APPLICANTS. SIMILARLY, IT DOES NOT INCLUDE A RACIALLY NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY STATEMENT IN ITS BROCHURES AND CATALOGS DEALING WITH STUDENT ADMISSIONS, PROGRAMS AND SCHOLARSHIPS, OR IN ITS OTHER WRITTEN ADVERTISING. IT LIKEWISE DOES NOT ACTIVELY PUBLICIZE A RACIALLY NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY IN ITS GENERAL AREA OF GEOGRAPHIC SERVICE. WITH RESPECT TO SCHOLARSHIPS AND OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, SHOWA-JAPAN ADMINISTERS PROGRAMS OF INTEREST-FREE TUITION LOANS AND GRANTS. AWARDS UNDER THESE PROGRAMS ARE DETERMINED ON THE BASIS OF ACADEMIC ABILITY AND NEED. SHOWA-BOSTON EXERCISES NO INDEPENDENT ADMISSIONS PROCESS OR DECISIONS, NOR TAKES ANY INDEPENDENT ACTION CONCERNING SCHOLARSHIPS OR OTHER STUDENT FINANCIAL AID. ITS STUDENT BODY CONSISTS PRIMARILY OF SHOWA-JAPAN STUDENTS SELECTED BY SHOWA-JAPAN AUTHORITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BOSTON PROGRAM. THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE BOSTON FACILITY IS TO PROVIDE AN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS OF SHOWA-JAPAN TO STUDY IN THE UNITED STATES. SHOWA-BOSTON, FOR THAT REASON, IS SEEN AS A PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT ENRICHMENT OF SHOWA-JAPAN'S DEPARTMENTS OF ENGLISH COMMUNICATION AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES. BECAUSE OF ITS ROLE IN THE OVERALL EDUCATIONAL OPERATIONS OF SHOWA-JAPAN, SHOWA-BOSTON WILL LIKEWISE MAINTAIN, WITH RESPECT TO ITS STUDENT BODY AND FACULTY, NO RACIALLY NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY STATEMENTS IN ITS GOVERNING INSTRUMENTS OR OTHER PRINTED MATERIALS, AND WILL NOT PUBLICIZE ANY SUCH POLICY. TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, SHOWA-BOSTON WILL COMPLY WITH U.S. LAW WITH RESPECT TO ITS HIRING PRACTICES IN THE UNITED STATES. IN FACT, THE FACULTY AND STAFF OF SHOWA-BOSTON ARE PREDOMINATELY PERSONS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL ORIGIN. (THIS IS CONTRARY TO THE ORIGINAL CONTEMPLATION WITH RESPECT TO THE FACULTY). IN THIS REGARD SHOWA-BOSTON HAS BEEN INFORMED BY A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS, THAT IT WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO FILE AN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAM, POLICY OR PLAN WITH THE OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS FOR ITS PROGRAMS; AS NOW CONTEMPLATED SIMILARLY, IT HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE SAME REPRESENTATIVE THAT IT IS NOT REQUIRED AT THIS TIME TO FILE AN EE06 FORM WITH THE OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS. SHOWA-JAPAN DOES NOT, AND SHOWA-BOSTON HAS NOT, ENGAGED IN RACIALLY DISCRIMINATORY POLICIES. THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE RECOGNIZED THIS IN GRANTING SHOWA-BOSTON TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. IN GRANTING SUCH RECOGNITION, THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE RECOGNIZED THAT THE AFFIRMATIVE RECORDKEEPING, POLICY STATEMENT, AND PUBLICITY REQUIREMENTS OF REVENUE PROCEDURE 75-50, 1975-2 C.B. 587 SERVE NO PURPOSE. BY GRANTING THE EXEMPTION RECOGNITION, SHOWA-BOSTON BELIEVES - UPON INFORMAL ADVICE FROM THE NATIONAL OFFICE OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE - THAT ITS APPLICATION FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE NECESSITY OF COMPILING AND FURNISHING STATISTICS AS TO THE RACIAL COMPOSITION OF ITS STUDENT BODY, FACULTY OR STAFF, AND OF FORMALLY COMPLYING WITH THE POLICY STATEMENTS AND PUBLICITY REQUIREMENTS, AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS OF REVENUE PROCEDURE 75-50, WAS ALSO GRANTED. IN ITS APPLICATION FOR RECOGNITION OF EXEMPTION (FORM 1023), DATED OCTOBER 21, 1987, SHOWA-BOSTON FULLY EXPLAINED THE PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH SUPPORTED ITS FULL COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF A RACIALLY NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY WITHOUT SATISFYING THE USUAL POLICY STATEMENT, PUBLICITY AND RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS OF REVENUE PROCEDURE 75-50. FORMAL RECOGNITION OF SHOWA-BOSTON'S TAX EXEMPT STATUS WAS GRANTED ON MAY 9, 1988. | Explanation |
