Book Description
A brief narrative description of the journal article, document, or resource. In May 1993, the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) set a new national agenda to provide meaningful access to education for all students. To elaborate on OCR actions prior to this initiative, the department's civil rights activities from October 1, 1991, to September 30, 1992, are presented here. The report is divided into five chapters. Chapter 1, which provides an overview of the OCR, focuses on enforcement strategies, organizational structure, compliance, management initiatives, and workload trends. The national enforcement strategy, outlined in chapter 2, includes analysis of ability grouping, discrimination in athletics, racial harassment, and other issues. Chapter 3 concentrates on elementary and secondary education issues and analyzes sex discrimination, race/national-origin discrimination, and disability discrimination; these same issues for postsecondary education are explored in chapter 4. The last chapter, looking at topics involving other institution types, discusses correctional institutions, employment practices, and the provision of services and benefits. The report finds that during the period under review there was a passive approach to civil rights enforcement with little or no policy guidance provided. It is claimed that, on the whole, underserved populations, such as racial-minority students and limited-English-proficient students, were neglected by the OCR. (RJM).

Book Description
2004 was a special year in America's longstanding efforts to provide equal educational opportunity for all people. It marked the 50th Anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in "Brown v. Board of Education", which declared racially segregated schools to be unconstitutional. 2004 also marked the 40th Anniversary of the "Civil Rights Act of 1964", which prohibits racial and national origin discrimination by recipients of federal financial assistance, including educational institutions, and the 30th Anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in "Lau v. Nichols", which affirmed the educational rights of language minority students. These historic milestones helped bring about extraordinary achievements in efforts to eradicate racial segregation, eliminate educational discrimination, and ensure that all students have the opportunity to reach their full educational potential. This report, which covers the activities of the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) from Oct. 1, 2003, to Sept. 30, 2004, demonstrates how OCR's compliance program continues in the tradition of these civil rights legacies. From investigating the misidentification of minority students in special education, to ensuring accessibility of college campuses for students with disabilities, to facilitating access of women to equal academic and athletic opportunities, OCR has vigorously pursued its statutory civil rights enforcement responsibilities. Appendices include: (1) FY 2004 Complaint Receipts by OCR Enforcement Offices; and (2) Offices and Addresses. (Contains 3 figures and 5 footnotes.) [For the Fiscal Year 2003 report, see ED500826.].

Book Description
This report covers the activities of the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) from Oct. 1, 2003, to Sept. 30, 2004. From investigating the misidentification of minority students in special education, to ensuring accessibility of college campuses for students with disabilities, to facilitating access of women to equal academic and athletic opportunities, OCR has pursued its statutory civil rights enforcement responsibilities. These and other reported accomplishments also demonstrate how the fair, effective and efficient enforcement of the civil rights laws can support the goals of the No Child Left Behind Act by advancing both excellence and equity. After many decades, the achievement gap is beginning to close: reading and math test scores are rising across the country, with disadvantaged and minority students leading the way. In safeguarding the rights of all students to equal access to high quality education, we ensure their future and our nation's future. The report includes: (1) Overview of the OCR Compliance and Enforcement Program; (2) Strategic Priorities; (3) Other Efforts to Enforce the Civil Rights Laws; and (4) Making a Difference. Two appendixes are included: (1) FY 2004 Complaint Receipts by OCR Enforcement Officers; and (2) OCR Offices and Addresses. (Contains 5 footnotes, 1 figure, and 3 tables.) [For the 2003 report, see ED500826.].
