A flavor-universal extension of the strong interactions was recently proposed in response to the apparent excess of high-E{sub T} jets in the inclusive jet spectrum measured at the Fermilab Tevatron. This paper studies the color octet of massive gauge bosons ({open_quotes}colorons{close_quote}{close_quote}) that is present in the low-energy spectrum of the model{close_quote}s Higgs phase. Constraints from searches for new particles decaying to dijets and from measurements of the weak-interaction {rho} parameter imply that the colorons must have masses greater than 870{endash}1000 GeV. The implications of recent Tevatron data and the prospective input from future experiments are also discussed. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
