Abstract: The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has enforcement
responsibilities under several civil rights laws, including Title VI of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of
1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Age
Discrimination Act of 1975, and the Boy Scouts of America Equal Access
Act. To meet these responsibilities, OCR collects assurances of
compliance from applicants for Federal financial assistance from, and
applicants for funds made available through, the Department of
Education, as required by regulations. These entities include, for
example, State educational agencies, local education agencies, and
postsecondary educational institutions. If a recipient violates one or
more of these civil rights laws, OCR and the Department of Justice can
use the signed assurances of compliance in an enforcement proceeding.
