"Our Mission And Responsibilities:
The mission of the Office for Civil Rights is to ensure equal access
to education and to promote educational excellence throughout the nation
through vigorous enforcement of civil rights. We serve student
populations facing discrimination and the advocates and institutions
promoting systemic solutions to civil rights problems. An
important responsibility is resolving complaints of discrimination.
Agency-initiated cases, typically called compliance reviews, permit OCR
to target resources on compliance problems that appear particularly
acute. OCR also provides technical assistance to help institutions
achieve voluntary compliance with the civil rights laws that OCR
enforces. An important part of OCR's technical assistance are
partnerships designed to develop creative approaches to preventing and
addressing discrimination.
