Investigation Procedures Manual for the Investigation and Resolution of Complaints Alleging Violations of Title VI and Other Nondiscrimination Statutes

摘要

The following manual is designed to provide guidance on the investigation of complaints of discrimination against recipients of Federal financial assistance. It has been prepared by the Coordination and Review Section (COR), Civil Rights Division, of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). It is DOJ's responsibility under Executive Order 12250 to coordinate and ensure the enforcement of Title VI and similar nondiscrimination statutes by Federal agencies that provide Federal financial assistance. Many agencies have asked that we prepare guidance on the investigative techniques used in enforcement of Title VI and other nondiscrimination statutes. In this manual, we hope to provide that assistance. This manual should be used in conjunction with the companion Legal Manual, which provides legal guidance on many of the questions and issues faced in ensuring civil rights compliance by recipients.
