Questions

Questions we get

All questions

Does Title VI cover antisemitism and Islamophobia?

Title VI covers discrimination based on actual or perceived shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics, which the Office for Civil Rights has applied to students who are Jewish, Muslim, Arab, Sikh, and members of other groups.

Do you investigate Title VI complaints?

Yes. We conduct independent investigations of race, color, and national origin complaints for colleges, universities, and districts.

Is a Title VI coordinator required?

The Title VI regulations do not require a designated coordinator in every setting. Institutions that name one respond faster and keep better records, and resolution agreements with the Office for Civil Rights frequently require one.
