Learn about Title VI compliance, its legal scope, and best practices to mitigate risks in programs receiving federal funding.
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance. Organizations including educational institutions, transportation agencies, and nonprofit entities must understand how Title VI compliance is enforced through administrative action or private litigation, as well as its interplay with Title VII. This course will provide an in-depth overview of Title VI's scope, evolving legal standards post-2023 Supreme Court affirmative action decisions, and industry-specific compliance considerations. Participants will learn how to evaluate their organization's federal funding status, navigate comparable state and local laws, and implement best practices to mitigate legal risks and ensure compliance.
