T1  - Sex Trafficking: A Gender-Based Civil Rights Violation
AN  - 1767321252; 2011-911149
AB  - This report is the result of a briefing before the United States Commission on Civil Rights held in Washington, D.C. A panel of experts briefed members of the Commission on April 13, 2012 to examine the federal government's response to this issue of human trafficking from a gender-based discrimination perspective. The panelists discussed how the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) does not list trafficking as a major crime category, how the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) does not collect statistics on the scope of trafficking, and how difficult it is to collect and track accurate data on the prevalence of sex trafficking of minors versus adults. Based on that discussion, the Commission developed the findings and recommendations that are included in this report. Among its findings, the Commission notes that the definitions of what is sex trafficking differ among United States executive agencies and state and local law enforcement authorities. Testimony showed that sex trafficking is clearly a violation of gender-based civil and human rights that enslaves women and girls in commercial sex and is rooted in gender-based discrimination. The Commission also noted that testimony showed that sex trafficking also enslaves men and boys, particularly gay and transgender individuals, in commercial sex and is discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and is also rooted in social exclusion. The Commission recommends that a model state law on trafficking be developed. Appendixes.

AB  - This report served as a briefing before the United States Commission on Civil Rights held in Washington in 2014. The purpose of the report is to examine federal efforts to eliminate and prevent civil rights violations, including incidents of hate crimes, prejudice, bias, stereotyping and travel discrimination against Arab and Muslim-Americans spurred by the reactions to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington. The Commission heard testimony from experts and scholars in the field and made findings and recommendations. Appendixes.

T1  - The Civil Rights Implications of Eminent Domain Abuse
AN  - 1767320816; 2011-911150
AB  - On August 12, 2011, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights convened a briefing to discuss issues related to eminent domain, public use and just compensation. The bipartisan agency sought and invited speakers of varying perspectives, including scholars knowledgeable about the history of eminent domain abuse, its impact on poor and minority communities, and any implications for civil rights; federal or state legislators who had exerted effort to curb the practice; and representatives knowledgeable about allegations of eminent domain abuse in particular localities. At the time of the briefing, 43 states had enacted laws attempting to limit the scope of eminent domain power sanctioned by Kelo v City of New London, but some scholars argue that those laws contain loopholes that 'continue to permit the exact same kinds of condemnations under the guise of alleviating 'blight' - a concept defined so broadly that virtually any property the government covets can be declared 'blighted'.

T1  - WORKING BACKWARDS: HOW EMPLOYMENT REGULATION HURTS UNEMPLOYED MILLENNIALS
AN  - 1748858729; 2011-867927
AB  - The unemployment rate for those aged 20 to 24 was 11.5% in September -- down from a year ago, but still almost three times the rate for those over the age of 35. One hears a lot of overwrought talk these days about a so-called war on women, but if there's a demographic out there that we ought to be worrying about, it is young people, the perennial newcomers to the economy. Well-meaning employment laws primarily benefit those who already have jobs, often at the expense of those who do not. In that respect, they are like so many progressive policies. They help those on the second to last rung of the ladder, often at the expense of those on the bottom rung. Many of these laws and policies may be attractive or even justifiable when viewed individually, but when piled one on top of the other, they can become a difficult-to-surmount obstacle to youth employment. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - The Sad Irony of Affirmative Action
AN  - 1735645464; 2011-862445
AB  - IN 2003, THE SUPREME COURT held that the University of Michigan's law school could substantially relax its admissions standards in order to admit a 'critical mass' of African-American and Hispanic students. Many observers interpreted that decision - Grutter v. Bollinger - as an open-ended embrace of affirmative action. Adapted from source document.

AN  - 1735645069; 2011-862438
AB  - AS WE HAVE at the beginning of each decade since 1790, Americans this year are participating in a national census. Next year, as has happened after each of those head counts, state legislators around the country will gather to redraw their congressional and state legislative districts. But in the years that follow this redistricting, we will surely be treated to displays of a more recent phenomenon: a slew of controversies over racially gerrymandered districts carefully drawn to ensure that minorities are elected to public office roughly in proportion to their share of the population.

Finds that ten years after the Adarand decision, federal agencies still largely fail to consider race-neutral alternatives as the Constitution requires.

T1  - THE 2004 ELECTION, How solid a count?, Many minority votes could go up in smoke
AN  - 279827512
AB  - The cure for chad-phobia was a surge nationwide in voting technology investments, but funding evaporates when it comes to training poll workers and educating voters. This produces confusion, breakdowns and frustrated efforts to cast ballots by voters who actually care enough to show up. At the rate we are going, unavoidably high numbers of ballots again will be spoiled - generally by voting twice for the same office or unintentionally failing to vote for an office.  
   The single greatest voting rights threat, revealed in 2000, is the huge difference in rates at which ballots are tossed out in predominantly poor and minority communities, as compared with others. In Florida, some minority precincts had more than one in five of their ballots go uncounted as spoiled, while in precincts on the other side of the tracks it was as few as one in 200. Six states had worse records than Florida, among them Georgia, Illinois and Indiana, but of the 100 worst-performing counties nationally, 82 were in the deep south. (New York had 2.01 percent spoiled, slightly worse than the national average.)  
   Congressional legislation has pressed states to adopt "provisional ballots," so that if a voter arrives at the polling place and is not on the rolls, he is offered a "provisional ballot," to be counted after eligibility can be verified. But Florida and seven other states have adopted a mean-spirited, restrictive version in which the ballot is discarded if the voter turns out to be registered, but at a different precinct.

T1  - MINORITY REPORT: INFLUX VEXES COLORADO ; CIVIL RIGHTS CHIEF SAYS JURY STILL OUT ON STATE'S STANCE ON IMMIGRANTS
AN  - 413509045
AB  - In a report released in April on the Grand Junction and Mesa County region, the Colorado Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights said it had found problems of `racial and ethnic tensions,' `disparities in education and income,' and a pervasive and persistent `socioeconomic divide.' Notable among its many prescriptions was one asking the community to better address the needs of its growing population of migrant farm workers. `If the minority population, both longstanding and newer immigrants, can be incorporated into the economic, civic, and political leadership of the community, this can only enrich the entire community,' the report said. ` . . . for the future of Colorado and the nation are dependent on embracing, not resisting, demographic changes that are creating nothing less than a sea change in the fabric of our nation.' The report (at http://www.usccr.gov/pubs/sac/co0403/main.htm) was prepared by the commission's Rocky Mountain Regional Office in Denver. John F. Dulles, the regional director, has served the civil rights commission for 30 years throughout the Western U.S., including Colorado since 1995. He discussed the report and immigration issues with Deputy Editorial Pages Editor Thom Beal.  
   Dulles: We went to three communities - Fort Collins in 1997, Pueblo in 1999 and most recently Mesa Valley. In Grand Junction and Fort Collins, where you have a minority population of 10 percent or more, there has been a tremendous struggle by Hispanic and other minority leaderships to make a difference in the political processes of those communities. In Mesa Valley, minorities made up approximately 5 percent of the full-time teachers in the public schools, despite representing more than 15 percent of total student enrollment. Of a total of 96 tenured faculty members at Mesa State College, only five were minorities. Of 87 administrators and professionals in city government, only two were minorities. The county employed 172 persons in these categories, of whom only nine were persons of color.  
   Dulles: Some Americans understand very well the economy's labor needs. But that doesn't mean they want to take any responsibility for the consequences. I was working in Hatch, N.M., the chile capital of the world. Somebody has to pick the chiles, right? So the buses would leave Ciudad Juarez-El Paso at 4 in the morning. They were incredibly dangerous buses and people got killed. Anyway, they took the Mexican workers over the border to the Hatch Valley to pick the chiles and at the end of the day the buses would return the workers back home. That was fine with everybody. But then came the Immigration Reform Act of 1986 which, under a special agricultural program, allowed some of the workers to live legally in the U.S. So all of a sudden some of the laborers decided it didn't make much sense to get up and go to work to Hatch on dangerous, rickety buses. So some of them moved and lived in trailer parks and mobile homes, which anyone familiar with New Mexico knows is a New Mexico tradition.

T1  - The Grand Junction Report: Issues of Equality in the Mesa Valley.
AN  - 62231762; ED476061
AB  - The Grand Junction Metropolitan Statistical Area is the fifth largest metropolitan area in Colorado and the 12th fastest-growing in the Southwest. Latinos make up approximately 8 percent of total population and 15 percent of school enrollment; these numbers are increased by migrant farmworkers and their families. In May 2001, a public forum was convened on civil rights issues in Grand Junction and western Colorado. The forum included panels of elected officials, college students, educators, attorneys, and law enforcement officials, as well as panels on community leadership, disability issues, criminal justice and legal issues, and community perspectives. Despite the optimistic outlook of civic leaders and the thriving economy, the socioeconomic divide has been persistent and casts a shadow over the state of equal opportunity in the region. Testimony consistently indicated that minority youth are not being well served in the public education and criminal justice systems. Problems include an alarming gap in student achievement, as well as disparities in school discipline and graduation rates, enforcement of the law, and criminal sentencing. Because of poverty, low wages, inadequate housing, lack of health care, and low educational attainment, many minority families, particularly migrant families, are unable to provide the support necessary to prevent the perpetuation of adversity in their children's lives. Recommendations are offered to local elected officials, the school board, Mesa State College, large employers, the criminal justice system, and service providers. Appendix contains data tables on the race of persons employed by local government, Mesa County Valley School District 51, and Mesa State College. (SV)

T1  - Ten-Year Check-Up: Have Federal Agencies Responded to Civil Rights Recommendations? Volume I: A Blueprint for Civil Rights Enforcement.
AN  - 62156310; ED482264
AB  - During the 1990s, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights issued reports evaluating the operations of 11 major federal civil-rights enforcement agencies. The reports focused on the enforcement process. From these original reports rose a series of subsequent reports of federal implementation of recommendations for enforcement. This report catalogs and summarizes recommendations made between 1992 and 2000 to the 11 federal agencies that were subject to the original examinations. In evaluating federal agencies' civil-rights enforcement programs in the 1990s, the commission identified the following elements for effective civil-rights enforcement: (1) a high priority for civil-rights enforcement; (2) an organizational structure that expresses the priority of civil rights; (3) planned civil-rights goals and activities; (4) clear and pertinent policy guidance, current regulations, technical assistance, education, and outreach; (5) effective complaint processing systems; (6) systems to ensure review of all funding recipients' compliance before and after awards are made and to correct deficiencies; and (7) regular staff training on civil-rights statutes and emerging issues. This report also includes strategies for effective civil-rights enforcement, descriptions of the enforcement reports, key civil-rights statues and regulations, and a checklist for evaluating federal agencies' civil-rights enforcement.

T1  - Racism's Frontier: The Untold Story of Discrimination and Division in Alaska.
AN  - 62198430; ED468839
AB  - In response to an incident in which white teenagers shot Alaska Natives with frozen paintballs, the Alaska State Advisory Committee (SAC) to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights hosted a 2-day community forum in Anchorage. The forum solicited input about improving race relations from state, local, and federal officials, representatives of advocacy groups and community organizations, and Alaska residents, and focused on education, employment, and the administration of justice. The SAC also obtained input specifically from Alaska Natives in a day-long session at the annual Conference of the Alaska Federation of Natives. Civil rights issues unique to Alaska include an urban/rural divide, with residents of remote rural villages (predominantly Native Alaskans) often receiving inferior state and federal services, if any at all; rural subsistence lifestyles based on access to natural resources; and local control of natural resources through tribal self-governance. A chapter on educational issues covers racial disparities in achievement, lack of teacher diversity and cultural integration, and inadequate funding for rural schools. A chapter on economic opportunity and employment discusses employment trends, assessment of the employment divide, and achieving employment equity for minority groups. A chapter on the administration of justice describes law enforcement and public safety, victimization of Alaska Natives, public safety in rural Alaska, the criminal justice system, and corrections. Thirty-eight recommendations are made in the areas of education, employment, and justice, as well as five general recommendations. An appendix lists forum participants. (Each chapter contains footnotes.) (TD)

T1  - Equal Educational Opportunity for Native American Students in Montana Public Schools.
AN  - 62284644; ED456008
AB  - The Montana Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights examined the extent of equal educational opportunity and educational quality offered to Native American children in Montana public schools. Fact-finding meetings were held in Billings (December 10, 1996) and Missoula (April 24, 1997). Chapter 1 of this report outlines the history of Indian education initiatives in the United States and Montana. Chapters 2-5 summarize perspectives of state and federal agencies; students, teachers, and administrators; tribal leaders and administrators; and organizations and institutions concerned with Indian education. Chapter 6 presents findings and recommendations. The Committee concludes that although the state of Montana has made numerous affirmations concerning Indian education, these have not produced tangible outcomes; therefore, the state has failed to meet its obligation with regard to Indian education. Montana's Indian children drop out of school at a disproportionate rate and have low achievement levels, test scores, graduation rates, and college attendance rates. There are too few Native teachers and administrators, and teachers do not receive adequate training in the teaching of Indian history and culture or in effective strategies for teaching Indian children. Recommendations are offered concerning teacher education, Native teacher recruitment, school-community links, student tracking, curriculum development, state policy implementation, role of tribal governments, and civil rights enforcement. Appendices contain the structure of Montana's executive branch, various policy statements and reports, and American Indian population data. (SV)

AN  - 62260255; ED457279
AB  - This report focuses on a 1998 community forum that examined the impact of the 1993 Apology Resolution enacted to recognize the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, subsequent meetings in 2000 with Na Kupuna (Hawaiian elders), and a 2000 community forum to collect information on concerns of Native Hawaiians and others regarding the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Rice v. Cayetano on Native Hawaiians. Seven sections include: "Introduction and Background" (social cohesion and conflict; cultural identity); "The Past That Haunts: A History of Hawaiian Annexation" (political and cultural transformation; international domination and overthrow); "Hawai'i Today: Diversity and Disparity" (Hawaiian ethnicity, demographics, and socioeconomics); "The Path to Reconciliation and Reparation" (legislative attempts and determining the parameters of reconciliation); "Reconciliation at a Crossroads: Implications of the Rice Decision" (the Native Hawaiian vote and public comment on the Supreme Court's decision); "Recognition Legislation before Congress: A Safe Harbor?"; and "Conclusions and Recommendations" (the federal government should accelerate efforts to formalize political relationships between Native Hawaiians and the United States, and state and federal funding to improve the conditions of Native Hawaiians should be increased). A list of forum panelists is appended. (SM)

T1  - Civil Rights Issues Facing Arab Americans in Michigan.
AN  - 62261831; ED457277
AB  - This report is a summary statement of the Michigan Advisory Committee's study on civil rights issues facing Arab American communities in Michigan. It is based on information received by the Committee at a community forum held in Dearborn, Michigan, in 1999. Six sections focus on: (1) "Introduction," including Arab American demographics in Wayne County and civil rights issues affecting Arab Americans (profiling, denial of due process in deportation hearings, and discrimination); (2) "Statements of Elected Officials"; (3) "Civil Rights Issues: Policing, Employment, and Religious Discrimination"; (4) "Civil Rights Issues: Profiling"; (5) "Civil Rights Issues: Secret Evidence in Deportation Actions"; and (6) "Committee Observations." The Committee observed that the Federal Aviation Administration has discriminatory profiling procedures, the secrecy surrounding the profiling criteria used by the Computer Assisted Passenger Screening System is a serious problem, the use in court of secret evidence against immigrants is unconstitutional, and the federal government needs to cease its targeting of Arabs and Muslims as suspect communities. Appended is a report by the Department of Justice to the Department of Transportation on the Department's Civil Rights review of the Federal Aviation Administration's proposed automated passenger screening system.

T1  - A Bridge to One America: The Civil Rights Performance of the Clinton Administration.
AN  - 62261876; ED457273
AB  - This report assesses the civil rights record of Bill Clinton's presidential administration, examining progress made in federal civil rights law enforcement and policy development. Four sections include: (1) "Introduction: The Clinton Presidency in Perspective" (the civil rights landscape and continuing relevance of the fight for civil rights); (2) "Background: A Decade of Turmoil and Change" (key civil rights laws, judicial decisions, and agency enforcement in the 1990s; growing racial and ethnic tensions during Clinton's administration; socioeconomic disparities in the 1990s; and demographic change in the 1990s and beyond); (3) "An Evaluation of President Clinton's Civil Rights Record, 1993-2001" (significant civil rights issues of the Clinton administration, including diversity in the federal government, environmental justice, fair housing, equal educational opportunity, equal access to health care, the impact of welfare reform on women and minorities, and voting rights); and (4) "Lessons Learned." Overall, the Clinton administration transformed federal civil rights enforcement and policy efforts in many important ways but ultimately failed to develop or execute effective policies in several key areas relating to civil rights enforcement. Three appendixes present a civil rights timeline, 1990-00; executive orders relating to civil rights, 1994-00; and Clinton's recommendations for building one America. (SM)

T1  - Funding Federal Civil Rights Enforcement: 2000 and Beyond.
AN  - 62260097; ED457274
AB  - This study assessed the federal civil rights enforcement budget since fiscal year (FY) 1994, analyzing the effects of recent civil rights legislation and executive orders on workload levels and staff demands. It describes and analyzes the budget requests of the Clinton administration from FY 1994 to FY 2001 and the funding levels appropriated by Congress in response to Clinton's requests. Results demonstrate that since the Commission's 1995 report, the nation's enforcement of civil rights laws continues to be threatened by unequal and uneven funding and staffing for federal civil rights agencies. Inadequate funding and staff levels persist in each of the agencies, even though enforcement responsibilities of the agencies have grown substantially. The six chapters present data on: (1) "Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education"; (2) "U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission"; (3) "Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, U.S. Department of Labor"; (4) "Civil Rights Division, U.S. Department of Justice"; (5) "Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services" and (6) "Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development."

T1  - The Status of Equal Opportunity for Minorities in Moorhead, Minnesota.
AN  - 62261754; ED457281
AB  - This report contains information received at a public fact finding meeting held in Moorhead, Minnesota, in 1999. The meeting examined equal opportunity conditions for minority residents in Moorhead, noting possible disparities in four areas: income and employment, education, public safety, and housing and public accommodation. To buttress the data collected, researchers administered attitudinal surveys to white and minority residents. After an introduction to the study, data are presented on the four areas, offering background information, survey results, commentary from public and organization officials, and commentary from the minority community. Overall, there were significant differences between white and minority members' perceptions of equal employment opportunity. Whites perceived that there was equal opportunity in employment and earning, while minorities perceived barriers to equal employment opportunity. Minorities were disproportionately under-represented in the public workforce. The Moorhead Human Rights Commission was perceived as a weak, ineffective enforcement mechanism for ensuring equal employment opportunity. The report recommends that the city commit to an affirmative action program designed to recruit, hire, and promote people of color and that the city vest the Human Rights Commission with real enforcement power.

T1  - Limited-English-Proficient Students in Maine: An Assessment of Equal Educational Opportunities.
AN  - 62258342; ED457278
AB  - This study evaluated equal educational opportunities available to Maine's language minority students, using information from four 1997 fact-finding meetings that included representatives from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, local school superintendents, English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers and professionals, community advocates, and limited English proficient (LEP) students and their parents. Overall, Maine's school districts were required to use local funds to provide ESL instruction. They did not receive any appropriations from the state budget for ESL, nor were they reimbursed by the state for expenses incurred in providing resources to LEP students. Qualified ESL teachers were in short supply, and the state's stringent and inflexible requirements discouraged many otherwise qualified teachers from obtaining ESL certification. The state department did not routinely monitor school districts' Lau plan (educational programs for limited English proficient students) compliance or sanction those not in compliance. Many schools and communities did not meet LEP students' cultural needs, and some schools worked to minimize or eliminate LEP students' cultures and languages. The Maine legislature was uninformed, and in some cases hostile, to the concerns of LEP students and had not enacted several bills designed to benefit LEP students. Recommendations for action are presented. (SM)

T1  - The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996: An Examination of Its Impact on Legal Immigrants and Refugees in Rhode Island.
AN  - 62326708; ED448255
AB  - This report describes a 1998 consultation conducted to examine the impact of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 on legal immigrants and refugees in Rhode Island. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act restricted access of documented immigrants to a wide range of government programs such as food stamps, supplemental security income, medicaid, medicare, assisted housing, and educational grants. The consultation examined how implementation of the Welfare Reform Act had adversely affected legal immigrants and refugees; determined whether and how Rhode Island state policies and/or private agencies planned to ameliorate adverse conditions resulting from implementation of these statutes; and examined current efforts by the state congressional delegation to ameliorate adverse conditions. The Rhode Island Advisory Committee to the Commission on Civil Rights heard from three panels, which included civil rights and immigrant rights advocates and service providers; federal, state, and local government agency providers and policymakers; and Rhode Island congressional delegation staff. Overall, eight areas of concern surfaced: lack of a state safety net; lack of interpreters and notices in native languages at state and federal agencies; states pressing for recovery of public benefits from immigrants; insufficient programs and instructors to teach immigrants English; potential increases in dropout rates among immigrant children; inflexibility of the 5-year ban for elderly and disabled immigrants; children's health policies; and delays in citizenship processing. Edited transcripts of the consultation are included. (SM)

T1  - Equal Educational Opportunity for Hispanic Students in the Oklahoma City Public Schools.
AN  - 62332718; ED446160
AB  - This report results from a community forum on educational equity in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, at which knowledgeable persons and school district personnel provided their perspectives on issues related to educational equity. Data from this forum reveal a serious problem in the large numbers of student suspensions at both the elementary and secondary school levels. The report also shows that different methods are used to count dropouts at the school district and state levels. The Advisory Committee on Civil Rights also received information about the use of waivers to exempt Hispanic students from taking the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills. The school district claims that exclusion is for the benefit of limited English proficient students, but community advocates claim that the waiver is a form of discrimination that targets Hispanic students and does not allow the school district to assess their educational potential properly. Several presenters at the forum recommended that the number of bilingual teachers and bilingual school personnel be increased, the curriculum be improved, and that there should be more parental involvement, with the removal of barriers that hamper communications. Appendixes contain the conference agenda and a report on the testing data from one elementary school. (SLD)

T1  - Toward an Understanding of Percentage Plans in Higher Education: Are They Effective Substitutes for Affirmative Action?
AN  - 62328464; ED447758
AB  - This statement presents the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights' position on higher education percentage plans. The One Florida Plan bans the consideration of race and gender in university admissions, guaranteeing state university admissions to high school seniors in the top 20 percent of their class, regardless of test scores. Texas' Ten Percent Plan entitles the top 10 percent of undergraduate classes within accredited Texas high schools to attend Texas state universities. After abolishing affirmative action, California created the four percent plan, which increases outreach and ensures that students who rank in the top four percent of their junior year class will be eligible for admission to the state university. The essay asserts that though percentage plans succeed as public relations strategies, they ignore law, medical, and other graduate and professional schools, where ending affirmative action is devastating. They are no substitute for strong race-conscious affirmative action, though they directly highlight the failure of states to ensure an equal education for poor, minority students. Civil rights activists must insist that states fix K-12 education now and that while working to repair education, politicians not slam the doors for those who can do academic work now. Attached are Florida's and California's plans and enrollment data. (SM)

T1  - Alaskan Natives and Other Minorities in the Special Education Programs of Four Alaskan School Districts.
AN  - 62308622; ED449957
AB  - This report provides information on the percentages of Native Alaskans and other minorities in the special education programs of four Alaskan school districts. It was prompted by a civil rights complaint by parents in the Juneau School District alleging that Native Alaskans were overrepresented in special education programs. The complaint was resolved in 1997 after the district undertook a number of remedial actions to ensure that Alaska Native students' cultural and linguistic background are considered throughout the special education referral, assessment, and placement process. The Alaska Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights requested information from four large school districts on the identification of students for placement in special education classes, number of students served, special education staff, and complaint procedures. The districts were Anchorage School District, Fairbanks North Star Borough School District, Juneau School District, and Nome Public School District, which together serve 57 percent of Alaska's K-12 students. Results were mixed, but special education programs in Anchorage and Fairbanks had overrepresentations of Alaska Natives and American Indians. As in the Juneau case, cultural and linguistic differences may account for some of this overrepresentation. The Committee recommends that other school districts review the efforts undertaken by the Juneau School District to address the issue. In addition, the Committee noted the lack of ethnic diversity in the special education staff of the districts studied and recommends the development of appropriate recruitment and hiring strategies.

AN  - 62230995; ED457627
AB  - This report is the result of a conference that examined major civil rights issues facing people who are blind and visually impaired in Illinois and is intended to inform the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights concerning issues of equal protection. The introductory chapter reviews leading types and causes of blindness and visual impairment, incidence and social characteristics of this disability, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Chapter 2 describes several advocacy groups of the blind and visually impaired such as the American Foundation for the Blind, the American Council of the Blind, and the Committee for Justice for the Visually Impaired. Chapter 3 considers service providers for this population including the Illinois Bureau of Blind Services, the Chicago Lighthouse, and the Illinois Blind Services Planning Council. Chapter 4 considers advocacy groups for the blind and visually impaired such as Illinois Parents of the Visually Impaired and Parents of Blind Children. Five federal enforcement agencies are discussed in the fifth chapter. The final chapter presents the advisory committee observations and recommendations in four areas: (1) incidence rates and public perceptions; (2) employment; (3) transportation and independent living; and (4) education.

T1  - Helping Employers Comply with the ADA: An Assessment of How the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Is Enforcing Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
AN  - 62307287; ED450529
AB  - This report from the United States Commission on Civil Rights focuses specifically on the efforts of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC) to enforce Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination based on disability in employment. The report evaluates and analyzes EEOC's regulations and policies clarifying the language of the statute; processing of charges of discrimination based on disability; litigation activities under Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act; and outreach, education, and technical assistance efforts related to the Act. The Commission finds that EEOC has developed a highly credible implementation and enforcement program for the Americans with Disabilities Act and that implementing the Act has been a major focus of the agency since the law was passed. EEOC has accomplished this while simultaneously taking a number of creative and innovative steps to attempt to deal with an overwhelming workload and insufficient resources. However, the Commission also found that EEOC is not fully responsive to the concerns and priories of its stakeholders. To ensure that all stakeholders have a voice in EEOC's policy development, the Commission recommends that the formal mechanism be instituted to obtain input from interested parties.

T1  - Helping State and Local Governments Comply with the ADA: An Assessment of How the United States Department of Justice Is Enforcing Title II, Subpart A, of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
AN  - 62303872; ED450528
AB  - This report from the United States Commission on Civil Rights focuses specifically on the efforts of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to enforce Title II, Subtitle A of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination based on disability by public entities such as state and local governments. The report evaluates DOJ's regulations and policies clarifying the language of the statute; processing of complaints of discrimination based on disability; litigation; and outreach, education, and technical assistance efforts related to the Act. The Commission finds that DOJ's implementation and enforcement program for the Americans with Disabilities Act is generally adequate, given its limited resources and extensive responsibilities. It finds that DOJ's greatest strength is its technical assistance and outreach and education program, which is extremely effective and praised widely by agency stakeholders. Another strength is DOJ's innovative use of alternative dispute resolution or mediation techniques to resolve complaints of discrimination. A general weakness of DOJ, however, is that it appears unresponsive to the concerns and priories of its stakeholders. To ensure that all stakeholders have a voice in DOJ's decision making, the Commission recommends that a formal mechanism be instituted to obtain input from interested parties.

T1  - Dealing with Disproportionality in the Juvenile Justice System: The State of Washington's Approach.
AN  - 62301125; ED449956
AB  - In 1995, a report on the Washington state juvenile justice system found that minority youth were four times more likely than white youth to be sentenced to confinement. This report reviews aspects of disproportionality in Washington's juvenile justice system, summarizes inquiries by the Washington Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, and highlights state and community efforts to address disproportionality. A section on demography and the extent of the problem examines Washington population data overall and for youth aged 10-17 by racial group; evidence of racial disproportionality in anecdotes, arrest rates, detention rates, prosecutor actions, and sentencing patterns; and positive and negative aspects of judicial discretion. Diversion programs--a legally mandated alternative to court for kids--have had some success, but problems include lack of funding, lack of community commitment, and family difficulties that prevent youth from appearing at required hearings. Statewide efforts on disproportionality include improved data collection and analysis on the juvenile justice system, state-mandated monitoring of juvenile disposition standards and the effectiveness and cultural relevance of rehabilitative services, and extensive diversity training for law enforcement and juvenile justice personnel. Successful community programs provide mentors to oversee alternatives to detention for African American youth, work to reinstate youth in school, and provide counseling and tutoring at drop-in centers. A multitribal organization advocates for American Indian youth in the juvenile justice system. Ongoing challenges include contributing factors in the child's environment, lack of funding, detentions due to failure to appear, lack of bilingual staff, and lack of prevention services. (SV)

T1  - Race Relations and Equal Education Opportunities at Proviso West High School.
AN  - 62580783; ED408386
AB  - The Illinois Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights prepared this report as part of its responsibility to advise on civil rights in Illinois and in response to an article about race relations at Proviso West High School, Hillside (Illinois) that appeared in "The New York Times." To study the racial climate and educational opportunities at the school, the Committee solicited the opinions of 45 students, 18 faculty and staff members, and some administrators, parents, and community members. The "Times" article described the school as a school built in the 1950s as an all-white school that was considered a model of educational opportunity. As the racial composition of the school became predominantly minority over the years, the economic status of the area declined, and residents of the community began to vote down school referenda. Following an introduction, the second part of this report gives background and demographic information on the school and community. The third part presents comments of student participants, and the fourth section contains the remarks of faculty and administrators. Part five presents the statements of parents and community members, and part six presents the Committee's observations and conclusions. It seems that a residual attitude of prejudice from parents and friends is found in the communities that feed students to Proviso West High School. It also seems that the students have learned to tolerate and ignore prejudicial behavior at school and among their peers as long as it is not directed towards themselves. Five appendixes contain the "Times" article, some supporting letters, and a statement from the article's author. (Contains 16 tables.) (SLD)

T1  - Discipline in Michigan Public Schools and Government Enforcement of Equal Education Opportunity.
AN  - 62576995; ED407449
AB  - This study examines whether there is disproportionate discipline of minority students in Michigan's public schools and assesses the enforcement efforts of State and Federal agencies to ensure equal educational opportunity in this regard. The extent to which minority students were being disproportionately suspended and expelled was studied, as were the actions of the state government and the Office of Civil Rights, and ancillary problems related to these issues. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the situation and civil rights enforcement efforts. Chapter 2 defines school discipline and presents Michigan's statistics on discipline in the public schools. Chapter 3 explores the experiences of two urban local school corporations in Michigan, and Chapter 4 examines the structure and authority of the Michigan Board of Education and the State Department of Education. Chapter 5 reviews the role of the Federal government in school discipline. In Chapter 6, the relation of disability to school suspensions and expulsions is explored. Chapter 7 is an addendum that presents recent developments in school discipline in Michigan. The Advisory Committee presents its conclusions in Chapter 8. It is found that minority students are being suspended and expelled from the state's public schools at a disproportionately higher rate than nonminority students. Although such a finding is not tantamount to a judgment of discrimination, such a finding is disturbing. Also disturbing is that neither State nor Federal governments have made an effort to help local school officials analyze and correct this problem. Eight appendixes present additional details about the study and its conclusions. (Contains 1 figure and 19 tables.) (SLD)

AB  - The ideas in this mini-brochure are intended for teachers interested in creating opportunities for students to pose questions during literature-based discussions. The brochure suggests that a child-centered approach to questioning is a highly motivating way to conduct discussions because students of all reading abilities can participate. The brochure discusses developing discussion guidelines, emphasizing that "put-downs" are unacceptable, orienting before reading, soliciting questions after reading, accepting all questions, encouraging collaboration, shifting to peer discussion groups, and learning from students' questions.

T1  - The Retention of Minorities in Colorado Public Institutions of Higher Education: Fort Lewis and Adams State Colleges.
AN  - 62547177; ED409134
AB  - Based on background research, interviews, and a public hearing held in Durango (Colorado) in March 1993, this report addresses issues regarding minority retention at Fort Lewis College in Durango and, to a lesser extent, at Adams State College in Alamosa. Due to limited information about Adams State College, none of the recommendations address that institution. The introduction examines demographics for minorities in higher education at the national level and in Colorado. In Colorado, minority participation in higher education follows national trends; rates of enrollment, persistence, and graduation are much lower for African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans than for Whites. The next two chapters describe aspects of Fort Lewis and Adams State Colleges respectively, including college history; enrollment, persistence, and graduation rates; minority faculty recruitment; campus and community attitudes; and student support services. Native American students make up 10% of the student body at Fort Lewis, while Hispanics comprise 25% of students at Adams State. The last chapter presents findings and recommendations. Despite commendable retention programs, persistence and graduation rates for Native Americans at Fort Lewis College are well below those of other racial groups at the school, and are approximately half those of Native American students in other Colorado institutions. Recommendations include a holistic approach by the school; enlistment of support from the student body, staff, and faculty; comprehensive cultural sensitivity training for faculty; efforts to recruit minority faculty; enlarged peer and career counseling programs; early recognition of academic successes; and efforts to reduce racial tensions on campus and in the community.

T1  - Race Relations in Western Nebraska.
AN  - 62746653; ED378028
AB  - This report is derived from a community forum held in Scottsbluff (Nebraska) on April 28-29, 1993, by the Nebraska Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights. Views on race relations in selected areas of western Nebraska were expressed by concerned citizens; community leaders; government officials (federal, state, and local); educators; law enforcement officials; and persons from the business community. They reported that steps were being taken to improve race relations in western Nebraska, but that these were insufficient. Main sections of the report address the following: (1) background information on the area and its population, minority groups, and poverty; (2) race relations in general, especially pertaining to Hispanics and Native Americans; (3) reported harassment and racism in the public schools, minority dropout rates, lack of minority group teachers, teacher insensitivity, multicultural and outreach activities, and minority student recruitment at Western Nebraska Community College; (4) procedures for filing complaints of housing discrimination with the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity; and (5) relationships between local law enforcement agencies and Native Americans and Hispanics. Appendices include newspaper articles about Native American protests of police action and the results of Chadron School District's survey of existing multicultural education. (RAH)

T1  - Native American Students in North Dakota Special Education Programs.
AN  - 62494001; ED411109
AB  - Based on background research and information submitted at a public hearing in Bismarck, North Dakota, on December 13, 1991, this report addresses the extent to which Native American students are treated equally in North Dakota special education programs. It was found that in some schools and special education units, Native American students in special education far exceeded their proportion in the total student population. Statistics reinforce beliefs of special education personnel and others that the placement of some Native American students in special education programs results from questionable placement procedures and from the misunderstanding and misinterpretation of socioeconomic, linquistic, and cultural factors. Allegations were also made that racial prejudice was a factor in some placement decisions. Corrective action is urged to assure that evaluation and placement procedures use valid criteria and consider only nondiscriminatory factors. Achieving this objective requires inplementation of a more comprehensive and detailed data collection system, more meaningful parent participation in placement procedures, and reassessment and revision of the training of teachers and program administrators. Reporters recommend selective review of North Dakota schools and school districts to determine compliance with the Education for All Handicapped Children Act and other statutes requiring nondiscrimination. Data tables present information for North Dakota and for Bismarck public schools on enrollments and special education placements, school personnel, and expenditures and revenues. Appendices list North Dakota Special Education Administrative Units and detail Native American enrollment in North Dakota schools for 1991-92. (SV)

T1  - Public Education in Idaho: Does It Meet the Needs of All Students? A Summary Report.
AN  - 62560770; ED409132
AB  - This report is based on a community forum convened on May 15, 1991, in Twin Falls, Idaho, to obtain information and views on public education in Idaho; its impact on minorities; and, specifically, the high dropout rate of Hispanics, its causes, and possible solutions. Chapter 1 gives the background of a 1979 lawsuit filed by the Idaho Migrant Council against the Idaho State Board of Education. The lawsuit was settled in 1983 when the defendant agreed to implement plans to meet the needs of students with limited English proficiency. However, the state advisory committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights continued to receive complaints alleging a lack of such educational programs. Demographics show that Hispanics are the largest non-White group in Idaho. Chapter 2 consists of summaries of forum presentations by the state superintendent of instruction, local superintendents, principals, teachers, university staff, corporate education and training experts, the director of education for the state correctional institution, and private citizens. The participants addressed the issues of language and cultural differences affecting Hispanics; the urgent need for bilingual, bicultural staff at all levels of education; and the need for a smarter well-educated work force for industry in Idaho. Chapter 3 includes a summary of 24 recommendations proposed by persons appearing before the Idaho Advisory Committee. Appendix A consists of the consent decree and settlement agreement in the aforementioned lawsuit. (TD)

T1  - Impact of School Desegregation in Milwaukee Public Schools on Quality Education for Minorities... 15 Years Later.
AN  - 62861787; ED351427
AB  - This publication reports on the effects of school desegregation in Milwaukee (Wisconsin) Public Schools 15 years after desegregation was introduced and focuses on the quality of education available for minorities. In particular, the report looks at desegregation and educational outcomes, interracial and human relations, the effect of housing patterns on school desegregation, and strategies such as school choice and the development of black male academies. Information for the report was gathered during field investigations and a day and a half community forum. Report sections cover the context in which the desegregation plan was implemented, educational outcomes, human relations, other strategies to improve education, and the effect of housing patterns on school integration. A final section offering conclusions and recommendations observes that desegregation has not been fully accomplished, grades and scores for black children have declined, disciplinary actions and dropout rates have increased, and racial attitudes have polarized. Desegregation efforts have been complicated by declining economic and housing opportunities. Appendixes contain a list of public schools in the Milwaukee district, and an agenda from the information-gathering forum. (JB)

T1  - Educational Opportunities for American Indians in Minneapolis and St. Paul Public Schools.
AN  - 62566153; ED409133
AB  - This report is based on background research and a community forum held in September 1990 in St. Paul, Minnesota, and addresses issues related to equal education for American Indians in Minnesota public schools. Minnesota's Native American population is increasing, is younger than non-Indian Minnesotans, and is becoming more urban than rural. The dropout rate is higher for urban Indians than for rural Indians, and the educational attainment of American Indians still lags behind that of the total population. Most of the report consists of summaries of presentations at the forum from individuals, agencies, educators, state government officials, tribal government officials, and superintendents of school districts. Of central concern was the question of whether equal opportunity in public education means simply equal access to education, or whether it includes the certainty of equal attainment. Some participants called for Indian-controlled separate schools or a separate district to educate American Indian students; others pointed to successful programs within public schools, such as cultural enrichment programs and Native language programs. Chartered schools and magnet schools were recommended as expanding parental choice and providing a means to focus the curriculum on American Indian culture and values. Many participants agreed that however Indians are educated, there must be parental involvement. The appendix is a policy brief presenting policy and legal arguments for separate and for integrated Indian schools. (TD)

T1  - Racial and Religious Tensions on Selected Kansas College Campuses.
AN  - 62925076; ED345642
AB  - A fact-finding meeting on racial and religious tensions on college campuses in Kansas was held, with participation by community leaders, college and university officials and instructors, law enforcement officials, college students, and community relations experts. Topics covered were the extent of the tensions; likely causes of the problem; and administrative, community, media, law enforcement, and institutional responses. The following findings and recommendations were developed: (1) university and college administrations are more reactive than proactive; (2) higher education institutions should develop effective and clear policy statements that address bias-motivated incidents; (3) college and university programs pertaining to minority student concerns are academically oriented and lack an emphasis on campus support systems designed to facilitate new and different living environments; (4) college administrators should provide appropriate and creative student support systems for racial and religious minority students; (5) some victims of bias-motivated incidents are reluctant to report their complaints through the college's formal complaints system, while others lack knowledge about the system; (6) institutions should review existing complaint systems; (7) conflict among groups has been heightened by competition for perceived limited resources; and (8) administrators must provide leadership that promotes harmony.

T1  - Fair and Open Environment? Bigotry and Violence on College Campuses in California. A Summary Report.
AN  - 62694808; ED382131
AB  - This is a summary report of a community forum conducted in Berkeley, California on July 18, 1989 on occurrences of bigotry and violence on college campuses in California. Twenty-five representatives of community groups, universities, federal agencies, and community organizations appeared to present their perspectives. Observations on campus climate included description of incidents, their type and frequency; comments on diversity and changes in the demographics of the student body over the past 20 years; discussion of admissions policies and their impact on campus life; description of programs to combat bigotry; and discussion of faculty diversity and affirmative action, institutional efforts to increase diversity, and controversies and policies attached to those efforts. A summary notes that: (1) some believe that a lack of planning for student diversity was the basis for the campus incidents of the 1980s; (2) negative attitudes about minority students may permeate administrative, staff, and faculty reactions to incidents; (3) the walls of academia have not been able to shelter students from the general attitudes and discriminatory practices of the world at large; (4) enforcement of codes of conduct, policies on racial and sexual harassment, and the creation of campus positions to deal with such issues may be mechanisms to combat the increase; and (5) combating these incidents takes the concerted effort of all segments of the university community.

T1  - In-School Segregation in North Carolina Public Schools. A Summary Report.
AN  - 62832322; ED350371
AB  - This summary report examines ability grouping and its possible use for in-school segregation in the North Carolina public schools. The report describes the development of concerns among minority parents about the placement of minority children in special education and low-ability classes and the investigation into the issue by a forum of six panelists. An overview of the question of whether minority students are overidentified for low-ability groups and passed over for high ability groups shows that a representative of the Robeson County (North Carolina) schools confirm that blacks make up a wide majority of students in classes for limited intellectual ability and that such placement is the result of inappropriate student assessment. A description of the extent of racial isolation finds that data from a survey are not useful in addressing this question. A discussion of whether ability grouping was good or bad finds panelists disagreeing, and results in no clear conclusion. Sections on monitoring and safeguards to avoid racial discrimination include examination of state guidelines and discussion of replacing the current educational administration with education vouchers. The forum gives the North Carolina Advisory Committee greater insights into the hidden nature of ability grouping as a civil rights issue. An unanswered question is whether a greater benefit for students results from heterogeneous or homogeneous instructional groups. Data suggest a formidable barrier for African American students in academically advanced classes. (JB)

T1  - Early Childhood Education Issues in Texas: Implications for Civil Rights. A Summary Report.
AN  - 62823089; ED351120
AB  - The Texas Advisory Committee to the U. S. Commission on Civil Rights conducted a public forum and gathered information on the extent to which early childhood education programs have affected equal educational opportunities for minority students in Texas. The hearings were held in response to the failure of public education systems to meet the needs of minority youth and to research the documents discrepancies between minority students and other students in educational outcomes. Summaries of statements of 13 school superintendents and administrators, representatives of the state board of education, educational research experts, directors of parenting and early childhood programs, and other concerned individuals reveal the bleak picture of the status of minorities in Texas public schools. It is noted that dropout rates and achievement levels continue to indicate disparities in educational opportunities. The speakers agree that helping children and their families is a significant imperative in the process of overcoming discrimination and assuring equal educational opportunities. Recommendations included the development of: (1) public policy that is beneficial to families and children in poverty; and (2) strategies that assure that minority children enter into an appropriate, multicultural educational process.

T1  - Bigotry and Violence on Missouri's College Campuses. A Summary Report.
AN  - 62697968; ED382130
AB  - This publication reports on the bigotry and violence on Missouri's college campuses based on the perspectives of 15 persons at a community forum held March 22, 1989. Participants included representatives of federal and state government agencies, human rights organizations, law enforcement agencies, and faculty, staff, students, and administrators from two- and four-year institutions of higher education. The federal official gave information on perpetrators of hate crimes on campus and a process for conflict resolution. Community and media consultants provided views on the collection of data for properly informing and educating the public on hate crimes and anti-semitism. Law enforcement officials told the forum why and how information on hate crimes is or is not reported. Two students described their thoughts and responses on the issue of racism. Faculty, administrators and staff provided different views of bias-motivated incidents, complaints, and harassment on their campus. Some institutions mentioned the importance of immediate top level responses to bias-motivated incidents on campuses if there is to be a positive learning environment for all students. One university representative described how the university handled a campus controversy that provided an invaluable experience in racial relations though costly in time, energy and money. (JB)

T1  - Bigotry and Violence on Nebraska's College Campuses. A Summary Report.
AN  - 62696060; ED382129
AB  - This report presents the views and experiences of 11 individuals from Nebraska's higher education community and a Federal official on the topic of bigotry and violence on the state's college campuses. Views were expressed at a forum held in Lincoln, Nebraska in May 1989. One of the faculty argued that society needs to learn how to communicate about bigotry and racism. Several participants suggested that universities need a safe office where students can report bias-motivated incidents. Students from different ethnic groups mentioned the difficulties of getting through college studies without a strong support system, particularly on a campus where numbers of minority students are low. College administrators described the different programs, resources, and scholarship monies available for the recruitment and retention of minority students and efforts to recruit minority faculty. According to the presentations, there is important work that needs to be done at all levels of higher education, both two-year and four-year institutions, to improve intergroup relations in order to minimize bigotry, racism, and violence in Nebraska's college campuses.

T1  - The Economic Status of Americans of Asian Descent: An Clearinghouse Publication 95.
AN  - 63137379; ED309210
AB  - This report addresses the issues of whether discrimination adversely affects the economic status of Asian Americans today, and whether this group's relative economic status has improved over time. The study separately examines the economic status of the following six largest Asian groups in America: (1) Chinese; (2) Filipinos; (3) Japanese; (4) Asian Indians; (5) Koreans; and (6) Vietnamese. Separate consideration is given to native-born and immigrant populations. Patterns in Asian immigration to the United States and trends in the skill composition of immigrants are traced for the years 1850 through 1980. Current population characteristics of the Asian American family are explored. The study reports on family economic status, including average earnings and the effect of number of contributors to family income. Factors influencing skill differentials, including educational attainment, work experience, and English-language proficiency, are studied. Analyses of earnings and employment for Asian men are presented, as well as studies of Asian women in the work force. A statistical approach is used to test for evidence of labor market discrimination against Asians. Changes in Asians' relative economic status between 1960 and 1980 are described, and recommendations for future research and data collection are forwarded. The report includes nine appendices, a bibliography, 78 statistical tables, and two figures. (AF)

T1  - AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION; How Hard It Is To Change
AN  - 426615261
AB  - The makers of the Constitution wanted to create a firm basis for the exercise of governmental power. However, they were wise enough to know that if they made their document too rigid, if they wrote it so that it could not be revised to suit future times and events, they were inviting future revolution. They would be creating a situation in which the only method to effect change would be to cast aside the Constitution itself. As George Mason noted at the 1787 convention, changes would be necessary, and it would be ''better to provide for them in an easy, regular and constitutional way than to trust to chance and violence.''  
It is clear that a strong effort to gain an amendment can influence government even when it fails. It acts as a brooding omnipresence in the sky, signaling to politicians that they must act. Some proposals that fail as amendments result in legislation. Proposed amendments reflecting public opposition to busing for desegregation purposes led to a 1972 education law restricting Federal involvement in busing. More recently, official school prayer amendment proposals led to the passage of the Equal Access Act of 1984, which provides that religious activities may not be excluded from among any extracurricular activities allowed on a public school's premises. Instead of passing an amendment requiring the balancing of the Federal budget, Congress in 1985 tried the expedient of enacting the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act to achieve a balanced budget in stages. In each of these cases, the stringent requirements for ratification of an amendment have prevented changing the Constitution. But politicians who needed to do so could show constituents that they were responding to their concerns.  
The purpose of Article V's convention provision is to make it possible for amendments to be proposed that Congress does not want proposed, and it would be illogical indeed to assume that Congress could bind a convention's agenda. Even if the Congress decided to call a convention for the sole purpose of proposing amendments to balance the budget, and even if the convention agreed to this overall goal, the gathering would still have great freedom. The participants might decide that Congressional budgetary authority should be limited to support for the national defense. They could delete support for the general welfare from the Constitution, thus precluding such items as Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare. They could decide to amend Congressional power to regulate commerce, which now allows for such activities as environmental regulation, labor regulation and antitrust enforcement. This would, after all, abolish a whole series of Federal agencies and decrease the budget.

T1  - Asian-Americans Face Bias in College Admission
AN  - 277874542
AB  - as measured by test scores and highschool and college grades   - appears to be equal, and at times superior, to that of Caucasians.     At Stanford, Harvard, Princeton and Brown, Asian-Americans constitute as much as 8 percent of the freshman classes, but they make up only 2.1 percent of U.S. population. Using this approach, Asian-Americans appear to be doing well. But this approach is flawed. It ignores the geographic concentration of Asian-Americans in a few states, and it overlooks the fact that a much higher proportion of Asian-Americans than of Caucasians is eligible for college admission. Not only do Asian-Americans have excellent test scores and high-school grades, but the proportion that takes the Scholastic Aptitude Test is much higher than that of Caucasians.  
    Another reason often given is the tendency of Asian-Americans to major in the sciences and technical fields.  Yet confidential data from one top ranked private university reveal that among every category of intended major in 1985, Asian-Americans had a lower admission rate than Caucasians.  
    If the characteristics and qualities of Asian-Americans cannot account for their low admission rates, the remaining possible explanations lie in rocedural characteristics of the admission process. A report on [Brown] admissions found that low nonacademic ratings were given to Asian-American applicants "due to cultural biases and stereotypes which prevail in the admissions office." Furthermore, use of a "historical benchmark," a mechanism that sets enrollment goals in terms of prior freshman classes, lowered the admission rate of Asian-Americans as their applications increased.

T1  - Recent Activities against Citizens and Residents of Asian Descent. Clearinghouse Publication No. 88.
AN  - 63077360; ED304500
AB  - This report describes some recent examples of racially motivated conduct directed against Asian Americans, and identifies factors that contribute to them. The report reviews the following sources of information: (1) literature on the topic; (2) hearings by local human rights agencies; (3) data from the Bureau of the Census, the Office of Refugee Resettlement, and the Immigration and Naturalization Service; (4) state laws on racially motivated crimes; and (5) field investigations in eight states and the District of Columbia. Chapter 1 is an overview of early, discriminatory legislation and other activities directed against Asian immigrants and Americans of Asian ancestry in the United States. The chapter also examines more recent legislation liberalizing the immigration laws. Chapter 2 describes the geographic distribution of persons of Asian descent and their socioeconomic status relative to that of Whites. Chapter 3 discusses factors that contribute to racially motivated activities against persons of Asian ancestry. Chapter 4 discusses some apparently racially motivated incidents that have occurred in various parts of the country since the 1982 murder of Vincent Chin, a Chinese American, and the community responses to them. Chapter 5 is a conclusion to the report. Tables and figures illustrate the data. Appended are the statements of Commissioners John H. Bunzel and Robert A. Destro. Also appended are the testimony of Congressman Robert T. Matsui; additional tables; a discussion of the methodology; reviews of Federal civil rights statutes, and provisions and penalties of selected State statutes concerning racial violence, harassment, or intimidation; and the text of a cooperative agreement between the United States Government and refugee resettlement agencies.

T1  - The Economic Progress of Black Men in America. Clearinghouse Publication 91.
AN  - 63084846; ED309204
AB  - This report attempts to identify and analyze the causes of the differences between the earnings and employment of black males and white males. Although the earnings gap between black and white men was substantially reduced between 1940 and 1980, black men still earn less than white men. While the relative earnings of black men has risen since 1940, their relative employment has declined. Factors that influence the earnings gap include the following: (1) discrimination; (2) education; (3) region of residence; (4) industrial sector; and (5) marital status. The report finds that while a narrowing of racial differences in worker characteristics accounts for part of the earnings convergence, other factors, including declining racial prejudice, federal civil rights policies, and unmeasured changes in employment skills, must be considered. The precise effect of civil rights policy remains undetermined. Some of the evidence attributes earnings differentials to differences in knowledge and skills acquired in school. Further research on the following issues is recommended: (1) the effect of civil rights programs; (2) black-white differentials in educational attainment; (3) declining labor force participation among younger black men; (4) upward earnings bias due to labor force withdrawal; and (5) the failure of the black-white unemployment gap to narrow. The report includes four appendices, a bibliography, 51 statistical tables, and nine figures. (AF)

T1  - Patterns of Union Membership and Relative Wages
AN  - 61017929; 86Q9651
AB  - Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (N = 5,000 US households), the effects of union membership on the wages of white Ms are examined. The empirical relationship between current wage & union status is estimated controlling for union status in years before & after the current year. The resulting status profiles are four years long in contrast to one or two years used previously. Results indicate that wage changes experienced when workers join or leave the unions vary significantly & systematically across these profiles; ie, a status change that appears to be long-term is associated with larger absolute wage changes than short-term changes in status. 2 Tables, 1 Appendix, 12 References.

T1  - After the Great Society
AN  - 138927807
AB  - JONATHAN YARDLEY's review of Lawrence Mead's Beyond Entitlement (Book World, December 15) states that Aid to Families With Dependent Children was a Great Society program. It was not. If this mistake is the essential premise of the book, as Yardley explains, it is obviously flawed.

T1  - Against 'Comparable Worth'
AN  - 425695375
AB  - Both houses of Congress and a number of courts are grappling with the question of whether wages should be fixed on the basis of equal pay for work of comparable value to the employer - a proposed remedy for lower pay received by women. One can already see developing many complications and dangers built into the concept of ''comparable worth.''  
What is the actual situation with regard to women's wages in this country? During the last Presidential campaign, Geraldine A. Ferraro frequently repeated that women are ''paid 59 cents on the dollar for the same work as a man,'' implying a wage gap of 41 percent. This misleading statistic has been the basis for much well-meaning support of the proposals now before us.  
One of the dangers of comparable worth is that it would create a new claim by certain advocacy groups on the right to legislate economic equality. These groups would have us adopt a system of permanent wage and salary controls, first in Federal employment and inevitably in private business. Under their plan, wages and salaries would be decreed by ''experts'' and bureaucrats, and deviations from their edicts would generate lawsuits in which the employer would bear the burden of proof that discrimination did not exist.

T1  - Migrant Farmworkers in Delaware.
AN  - 63214147; ED279438
AB  - The Delaware Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights examined housing, employment, and health among the state's more than 1,500 migrants. Committee findings indicated: (1) there is no accurate count of migrants in the state or migrants in need of housing on a seasonal basis; (2) Delaware has pursued an aggressive policy of upgrading and enforcing housing standards governing migrant labor camps; (3) 80% of all growers utilize the state clearance system to recruit migrant workers, thereby providing greater assurances of adequacy of available migrant housing; (4) an undetermined number of migrants are housed in unlicensed camps that do not provide decent, safe, and sanitary accommodations and are beyond the scope of state and local regulations; (5) during 1983, 11 farm labor contractors violated the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Workers Protection Act by failing to disclose conditions of employment, maintain required records, and/or provide wage statements to workers; (6) frequency and severity of migrant employment problems are decreasing; (7) alcoholism is considered the major Delaware migrant health problem and is directly related to the lack of recreational opportunities; and (8) Delaware offers a progressive system of health care services through public health clinics, rural ministries, private doctors, and private hospitals.

T1  - Survey of Political Participation, Employment and Demographic Characteristics of Eleven Counties in Southern New Mexico. Volume I.
AN  - 63354399; ED254387
AB  - The report briefly outlines the population characteristics, public employment and political representation status of the Chaves, Curry, Eddy, Lea, and Roosevelt counties in southern New Mexico for a 10-year period. The three sections of each profile focus on the county government, largest city in that county, and school district encompassing that municipality. Information in each profile includes: demographic data for 1970 and 1980 describing the composition of the population, its income and poverty status, and changes in population base over a 10-period; composition of elected state, county, and city officials by race, ethnicity, and sex for the years from 1969 to 1983; county and city governments' work force by race, ethnicity, sex, and job classification as of 1982; enrollment data for the largest district in the county by race and ethnicity for selected school years from the 1968-69 to the 1983-84 school terms; composition of the district's school board by race, ethnicity, and sex for 1973 to 1983; and the district's work force by race, ethnicity, sex, and job classification as of the 1982-83 school year. A section describing the geographical scope, data sources, and methodologies used to compile and analyze the data concludes the report. (NQA)

T1  - Survey of Political Participation, Employment, and Demographic Characteristics of Eleven Counties in Southern New Mexico. Volume II.
AN  - 63352786; ED254388
AB  - The report briefly outlines the population characteristics, public employment and political representation status of the Dona Ana, Grant, Hidalgo, Luna, Otero, and Sierra counties in southern New Mexico for a 10-year period. The three sections of each profile focus on the city government, largest city in that county, and school district encompassing that municipality. Information in each profile includes: demographic data for 1970 and 1980 describing the composition of the population; its income and poverty status, and changes in population base over a 10-year period; composition of elected state, county, and city officials by race, ethnicity, and sex for the years from 1969 to 1983; county and city governments' work force by race, ethnicity, sex, and job classification as of 1982; enrollment data for the largest district in the county by race and ethnicity for selected school years from the 1968-69 to the 1983-84 school terms; composition of the district's school board by race, ethnicity, and sex for 1973 to 1983; and the district's work force by race, ethnicity, sex, and job classification as of the 1982-83 school year. A section describing the geographical scope, data sources, and methodologies used to compile and analyze the data concludes the report. (NQA)

T1  - Migrant Farmworkers on Virginia's Eastern Shore.
AN  - 63203715; ED279437
AB  - The living and working conditions of migrant farmworkers on the Eastern Shore of Virginia have been described as deplorable and possibly the worst in the nation. At the same time, growers in this region have complained of duplication, even triplication, of federal and state regulations designed to improve living and working conditions of these farmworkers and to protect their civil rights. A 1982 forum sponsored by the Virginia Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights and attended by government officials, growers, crewleaders, migrant farmworkers, and community service providers considered migrant living/working conditions, eligibility for programs/services, current levels of service, and civil rights problems/provisions, and made recommendations to improve conditions. Findings revealed that because no uniform method of counting/tracking migrants exists, planning programs and enforcement procedures is difficult; because growers refuse to recruit migrants through Virginia's Employment Commission, migrant protection is reduced; because many migrants are paid less than minimum wage and crewleaders fail to document/maintain wage records, migrants have difficulty qualifying for unemployment insurance; poor housing, poor nutrition, alcoholism, lack of recreation, and isolation adversely affect migrants' physical/mental health; and Virginia migrant education programs meet or exceed federal requirements. Agency responses are appended. (NEC)

T1  - Federal Civil Rights Enforcement Efforts in Mid-America. A Report.
AN  - 63439703; ED243235
AB  - This report summarizes a 1983 study, following previous research by the United States Commission on Civil Rights. The study examined several aspects of civil rights programs within federal agencies in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska: distribution of authority and resources, accomplishments in 1980, and plans for 1983. Information was obtained from regional officials or, for agencies that had no regional civil rights unit, from their national civil rights units. Thirteen descriptive sections cover the Environmental Protection Agency; the Department of Education; the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; the Federal Home Loan Bank Board; the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the Departments of Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Labor, and Transportation; the Small Business Administration; the Department of Energy; the Office of Revenue Sharing; and the Federal Executive Board. The report concludes that, although enforcement has not greatly decayed since 1980, it is very poor in most of these agencies. Specific findings are listed with recommendations to review regional compliance efforts nationwide, to strengthen civil rights programs in individual agencies, and to review the efforts of several agencies that supplied no information for this study.

T1  - Policy vs. Results: Affirmative Action in the Hawaii Department of Education.
AN  - 63427979; ED244353
AB  - To correct disparities between the racial and ethnic composition of its administrative and teaching staff and that of the state's population, the Hawaii Department of Education (which operates Hawaii's public school system) adopted an affirmative action plan in 1976. As shown by the department's progress reports for 1977-82, this plan has had little effect; unrevised since 1976, it is based on outdated census figures. In 1975 a number of groups, especially Filipinos and whites, were underrepresented in the department staff, while Japanese were overrepresented. Yet, from 1976-77 to 1981-82, the staff composition changed only slightly. Moreover, the department's Affirmative Action Advisory Council (AAAC), as of 1982, had not met for 2 years. The Hawaii Board of Education should seek advice from the AAAC and other established advisory groups to produce a successful affirmative action program. Appended to this report are four tables of data. (MCG)

T1  - Migrant Workers on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
AN  - 63212866; ED279436
AB  - Based on facts gathered in 1982-83 and prepared to inform the United States Commission on Civil Rights of the status of migrants in the State of Maryland, this report summarizes findings about housing, health and safety, access/communication/transportation, employment issues, and education. The summary of housing conditions notes that more than one-third of the 57 licensed migrant labor camps in 1982 operated with major health and safety deficiencies in spite of numerous authorities empowered to enforce standards that could improve camp conditions. Health and safety findings show generally poor health adversely affected by poor nutrition in particular. The report on access issues outlines numerous ways that migrant workers are isolated from mainstream society including language barriers. Discussion of employment issues focuses on exploitation of migrant workers including extremely low pay, the nation's worst working conditions, and lack of legal protection. Discussion of education concludes that despite the accomplishments and plans of educators in Maryland, migrant children experience poor educational achievement, are typically ostracized by local residents, and--in significant numbers--do not participate in educational programs for which they are eligible. Appendices list private and government agencies involved with migrant welfare and nine agency review replies. (JHZ)

T1  - Minority Teachers in an Era of Retrenchment: Early Lessons in an Ongoing Dilemma. A Followup Report.
AN  - 63504353; ED227598
AB  - Reviewed here are the effects on multiracial staffing brought about by the first year of implementing Proposition 2 1/2, the Massachusetts cap on local property and excise taxes. The first chapter looks at the general effects of Proposition 2 1/2 on educational quality and equality. Chapter 2 presents trends and shifts in teacher staff levels statewide, by curriculum and by type of community. Changes in minority representation on faculties before and after Proposition 2 1/2 are reviewed in chapter 3. Chapter 4 recounts policy and legal developments concerning teaching and equal employment opportunity. The educational dimension of the presence of minority teachers in the schools is discussed in the last chapter. The report concludes that in many districts examined, minority faculty do not appear to have been disproportionately laid off, but that the future of multiracial staffing in most districts is perilous. Wholesale layoffs of minorities have not yet occurred because of two developments: legal action to protect minority jobs and creative compromises and solutions undertaken by school authorities. (JM)

T1  - Shortchanging the Language-Minority Student: An Evaluation of the Manchester, New Hampshire School Department's Title VI Civil Rights Compliance Plan.
AN  - 63403828; ED242807
AB  - This report of the New Hampshire Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights contends that the Manchester, New Hampshire, school department has failed to provide adequate bilingual instruction for language minority students in that district, as specified by the provisions of Title VI and the "Lau v. Nichols" decision. It further contends that the regional office of the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights (OCR) failed to adequately monitor Manchester's Civil Rights Compliance Plan. Chapter I of the report summarizes the Advisory Committee's findings and recommendations. Chapter II indicates how the needs of language minority students in the area came to the Committee's attention, summarizes Federal laws and regulations mandating equal educational opportunities for language minority children, and defines several important terms used to identify and classify such students. Chapter III is a historical summary of the problem and resulting compliance plan for Manchester; Chapter IV summarizes the exchange of documents between the Manchester School Department and OCR; and Chapter V provides a section-by-section comparison between the "Lau" remedies developed by an HEW Task Force; the text of the Compliance Plan developed by the Manchester School Department and accepted by HEW's Region I Office for Civil Rights; and an analysis of the compliance plan prepared by consultants to the Advisory Committee. Several appendices provide back-up documentation relating to the investigation. (CJM)

T1  - School Closings in Montgomery County, Maryland. A Report of the Maryland Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights.
AN  - 63339411; ED256853
AB  - In January 1982, the Maryland Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights conducted a forum in order to hear from community representatives, members of the Montgomery County School Board, and other local officials about the impact of school board decisions to close selected schools in the countywide school district. On the basis of the information gathered in preparation for, at, and following the meeting, the committee came to the following conclusions. First, while the committee recognized the need for school closings due to dwindling enrollments, it found that the decisionmaking process utilized by the school board did not adequately consider either the racial makeup of the county's schools or the special needs of the county's various minority communities. Second, the school board's insensitivity to minority community concerns added racial tension to the controversy and polarized it in a manner that could damage community relations for a long time to come. And finally, in choosing schools to be closed, the school board deviated from its own racial balance policies; its actions would result in increased minority concentrations in schools in certain areas of the county. In the light of these findings, the committee urges the United States Commission on Civil Rights to conduct a national assessment of school closures necessitated by declining enrollments. Following the narrative, appendices present two responses to the committee's findings by the school board president and a school board member. (RDN)

T1  - The Black/White Colleges: Dismantling the Dual System of Higher Education.
AN  - 63539730; ED206229
AB  - Criteria to aid states in desegregating their higher education systems and the need for federal desegregation policy to take into account the unique role of public black colleges are examined, and the historical effects of segregation on educational opportunities for black Americans are traced. Criteria issues by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, "Revised Criteria Specifying the Ingredients of Acceptable Plans to Desegregate State Systems of Public Higher Education," focused on three major areas: the dismantling of the dual system with respect to black and white colleges; the desegregation of student enrollments, particularly at the traditionally white institutions; and the desegregation of faculty, administration staffs, nonacademic personnel, and governing boards. It is recommended that the Department of Education should monitor the implementation of the desegregation plans in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Virginia, and that Title VI compliance should be determined for the remaining states that formerly maintained de jure dual systems of higher education. It is suggested that the adequacy of the criteria for eliminating the effects of past discrimination and for achieving a unitary system should be reviewed. Additionally, suggestions for strengthening the criteria include the following: black public institutions need to expand missions that include more diverse curricula and new degree programs; current funding to traditionally black institutions should be equal to that granted to white institutions and sufficient funds should be allocated to compensate for past inequities; programming to avoid duplication should emphasize specialized, career-oriented degree programs at black institutions.

T1  - School Desegregation in the St. Louis and Kansas City Areas. Metropolitan Interdistrict Options.
AN  - 63648565; ED201718
AB  - A study was conducted to explore the options and costs of both voluntary and compulsory solutions to metropolitan school desegregation. The study focused on the Saint Louis and Kansas City, Missouri, metropolitan areas which are examples of settings in which desegregation can occur. The demographic characteristics of these central cities and their outlying suburbs are presented, as is a discussion of the legal status of desegregation in the two cities. Analysis indicates that metropolitan desegregation plans are viable solutions for the desegregation of schools and the reduction of racial isolation in these Missouri cities. Metropolitan desegregation requires interdistrict cooperation and the transfer of students between schools and school districts. Interdistrict transportation and magnet schools are discussed as desegregation tools that Saint Louis and Kansas City could implement on a voluntary basis to complement metropolitan desegregation. Specific findings of the study and recommendations are included. (MK)

AB  - In response to Federal and State laws that prohibit employment discrimination, the California State Personnel Board (SPB) instituted a series of programs and projects designed to overcome underrepresentation and underutilization of minority group members and women in civil service jobs. A subcommittee of the California Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights analyzed employment data from the period 1974-1979 to determine if the SPB affirmative action programs were effective. This report summarizes the subcommittee analysis of competitive civil service positions, highlighting areas of minority and women representation and utilization by department, salary, promotion, and attrition. The majority of this report is devoted to tables and graphs of data describing racial/ethnic and female distribution in the highlighted areas. Additional data are appended. (MK)

T1  - Asian Americans: An Agenda for Action; A Conference Summary.
AN  - 63694652; ED186567
AB  - The proceedings of a conference on Asian Americans held in New York City in May 1978 are summarized in this report. The conference consisted of workshops on four issues: employment, voter participation, youth, and the elderly. In the workshop on employment, issues discussed included the participation of Asians in the health system and in the public (Federal, State and local) sector. In the workshop on voter participation, discussion centered around problems of voter registration, voter education, and redistricting as they affect Asian Americans in New York City. Also considered were ways that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 can be used to increase the participation of Asian Americans with limited English speaking ability. Principle issues covered in the workshop on youth were the lack of statistics on Asian American young people, language and educational problems, youth programs and employment, and gangs and violence, particularly in New York City's Chinatown. In the workshop on the elderly Asian American population of New York City, the availability of census statistics, language and cultural problems, social isolation, health, limited income, and housing were among the areas discussed. For each workshop, relevant statistical information is presented. Recommendations of the conference participants for eliminating discrimination and inequalities are also given. (GC)

T1  - Status of Civil Rights in Texas. Volume I: A Report on the Participation of Mexican-Americans, Blacks and Females in the Political Institutions and Processes in Texas, 1968-1978.
AN  - 63699284; ED188819
AB  - During the 1970s, Texas' longstanding political, legal, and cultural framework continued the systematic exclusion or discouragement of minority groups from political participation and representation. The Texas Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights studied the representation of the state's 12.5% black, 18% Spanish surnamed, and 51% female citizens in every elective office at the state, city, and county level from 1968 to 1978. The Commission found uniformly low minority representation in the major state and local governmental institutions. Overall, black and Mexican American representation changed little during the period, except in those cases in which federal legislation, such as the 1975 Voting Rights Act, or federal courts had intervened. The Commission also confirmed its assumption of the dominance of Anglo males in Texas' political structure, and the accompanying near-total exclusion of black and Mexican American women. Except for city council offices, Anglo males held 90% of all elective positions. A regional analysis of Commission findings further confirmed this conclusion and revealed gross disparities between minority population and representation. As regards minority representation, Texas did not compare particularly well with other southern and southwestern states. Five case studies illustrate various aspects of the report. (SB)

T1  - Status of Civil Rights in Texas. Volume II: An Employment Profile of San Antonio, 1968-1978. A Case Study.
AN  - 63697039; ED188820
AB  - As of 1978 in San Antonio, Texas, equal employment opportunity remained an unfulfilled promise. The Texas Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights studied private sector employment in four industries (banking, hospitals, universities, broadcasting), public employment at four governmental levels (municipal, county, state, federal), and employment at five military bases and two public utilities, from 1968 to 1978. The prevailing employment pattern in all sectors placed white/Anglo males in high salaried, more prestigious, largely white collar positions and relegated women and minorities to lower paying, less skilled jobs. In the private sector in general, minorities, severely underrepresented in higher status jobs, were concentrated in craft, operative, laborer, and service-related jobs. Women were well represented at the white collar level but largely in clerical jobs. The public sector and the military bases employed more women and minorities in 1978 than in 1968 but again in lower paying jobs. The public utility workforce remained stable for the period studied, with few women or blacks at all but many Mexican Americans employed as laborers. Unemployment for women and minorities was disproportionately high based on their percentage of the population and consistently higher than for white/Anglo males. (Author/SB)

T1  - Texas: The State of Civil Rights. Ten Years Later, 1968-1978.
AN  - 63696531; ED188818
AB  - It has frequently been said that the past decade has been one of major advances for Black and Mexican American Texans. A study by the Texas Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights reported that, to the contrary, Texas, at all governmental levels, consistently underemployed, underrepresented, underutilized and underestimated minorities and women. The study centered on minority and female participation in the educational process; employment at the city, county, state, and federal levels; political participation; and the administration of justice. Because of the state's size and diversity, analysis was directed to the north, south, west, east, central, and Panhandle-High Plains regions of Texas. Among the conclusions drawn were: (1) while minorities were frequently employed in rough equivalence to their percentage of the population, both in terms of responsibility and salary they were almost always concentrated in the lowest levels; (2) educational decisions at all levels were almost exclusively in the hands of Anglo males; (3) Anglo males had dominated upwards of 90 to 100 percent of elected positions at all levels; and (4) minority groups were represented in very small numbers among those who actually enforced Texas laws, a pattern particularly disturbing among the state's judiciary. Part Four of a larger report submitted by the Committee, this document summarizes all the study findings. The document ends with a case study of San Antonio which provides an in-depth look at the involvement of minority group members and women in policy making and decision making roles of selected agencies/institutions.

T1  - Status of Civil Rights in Texas. Volume III: A Report on the Status of Minority Group Members and Women in Public Employment and Public Education in Texas During 1977.
AN  - 63696491; ED188821
AB  - The Texas tradition of placing women and minorities in lower paying, less prestigious jobs without policy-making responsibility continued through the 1970s in the areas of public employment and public education. For all employment at all governmental levels in all regions and city sizes, minority members and women earned the lowest salaries. Prestigious, well paying, key decision-making jobs were almost exclusively the province of white/Anglo males. Where large minority concentrations existed, minority participation in key positions was enhanced but by no means assured. Public education reflected the trends of public employment in that there was an absence of minority members and women in key positions throughout the state system. Even when a minority group formed a majority of the local population, key administrative staff was not necessarily drawn from the minority. Superintendents were minority members only when a majority of the local school board were also minority members. Within the Texas Education Agency, 90% of the jobs with salaries over $25,000/year were held by men and 93% by white/Anglos, while 77.2% of the jobs with salaries under $10,000/year were held by Hispanic women.

T1  - Equal Opportunity in the Fort Wayne Community Schools: A Reassessment.
AN  - 63683902; ED179669
AB  - Desegregation of the Fort Wayne, Indiana, schools has been a focus of concern since the 1960s. However, although Fort Wayne has successfully desegregated its secondary schools within the past 10 years, progress to eliminate racial isolation at the elementary school level has been considerably slower. The present study reviews that progress over the past two years. The data on which the report is based were obtained from written statements, letters, personal interviews, and telephone interviews with individuals knowledgeable about the community and its public schools. Additional information was drawn from testimony presented at a 1978 public hearing. The history of school desegregation in Fort Wayne is briefly outlined. The current desegregation climate is described, with a focus on the areas of school reorganization proposals, community response to these proposals, and the involvement of State and Federal agencies in monitoring and in the enforcement of desegregation statutes. Findings of the study are summarized in terms of student and teacher assignment, State directives and guidance, Federal involvement, and coordination between the Federal and State governments in the enforcement of civil rights laws. Recommendations concerning school reorganization, legislative repeal, the development of consistent legal guidelines, cooperation between State and Federal offices, and future investigation and data collection, are presented.

T1  - Corrections in Montana: A Consultation on Corrections in Montana.
AN  - 63667871; ED180727
AB  - The findings and recommendations of a two-day conference on the civil and human rights of inmates of Montana's correctional institutions are contained in this report. The views of private citizens and experts from local, state, and federal organizations are presented in edited form under seven subject headings: existing prison reform legislation, the role of state government in corrections, corrections philosophy, the history of corrections in Montana, the role of women in corrections, the juvenile offender, and alternatives to traditional concepts of corrections. Key issues were the special needs of female, American Indian, and juvenile offenders and the need for a viable corrections philosophy as a foundation for positive change in Montana's corrections program. Recommendations based on the conference findings include a study to explore alternatives to incarceration, creation of an inmate advocate position, a center to coordinate services to women offenders, and legislation to protect the rights of juvenile offenders. Additional recommendations, in view of the disproportionate number of American Indians in the Montana prison population, are that an American Indian serve on the parole board and that the Department of Institutions, in cooperation with the Indian tribes, hire at least one person especially concerned with alleviation of the cultural and correctional problems of the American Indian offender.

T1  - The Emergence of Civil Rights in Wyoming.
AN  - 63778610; ED174385
AB  - Local, state, and federal government representatives and private citizens participated in a two-day consultation on civil rights in Wyoming. Panel discussions focused on the difficulties of civil rights enforcement in the areas of housing and economic opportunity, medical care, education, the handicapped, employment discrimination, and women's rights. The conference found civil rights enforcement in Wyoming to be fragmented and uneven; among the problems discussed were the lack of a state fair housing law, overly restrictive eligibility guidelines for medicaid services, and confusion about the implementation of affirmative action to end sex discrimination in education. Based on the findings of the conference, the Advisory Committee recommended the following actions: (1) creation by statute of a state human rights commission with powers to rectify discrimination in housing, public accommodations, and employment; (2) appropriation of funds to increase staffing of the Wyoming Fair Employment Practices Commission; (3) creation of public health centers in each county of the state; (4) expansion of medicaid services to include marginal income persons; (5) development by the University of Wyoming of an effective affirmative action plan; and (6) effective monitoring of laws protecting the rights of the handicapped.

T1  - Native American Justice Issues in North Dakota.
AN  - 63736803; ED161600
AB  - In order to assess the quality of justice available to Native Americans in Burleigh County, North Dakota, investigations were conducted from June 1976 through April 1978 with an informal fact finding meeting as well as interviews with approximately 85 persons in Burleigh County and throughout the state. The 1970 census lists Native Americans living in North Dakota as comprising 2.3 percent of the population, yet the inmate structure of the North Dakota State Penitentiary includes 25 to 30 percent Indians. In Burleigh County during 1977, 32.7 percent of the arrests made for the eight most common offenses were of Indians, although the 1970 census showed Indians comprised only 1 percent of the total county population. The disproportionate number of Native Americans arrested and incarcerated is due to a number of factors. Indian unemployment exceeds 35 percent; this affects community attitudes of prejudice and discrimination. Such attitudes in turn often influence law enforcement officers, court officials, attorneys, and jury panels. Communication between Indian clients and their attorneys or courts is often a problem. Only rarely is an Indian person called for jury duty and it is difficult to get an impartial jury for an Indian defendant. Among the recommendations for improving the justice system for Native Americans in North Dakota are recruiting more Indian enforcement officers, providing ombudsmen versed in judicial procedures to assist Indian defendants, establishing a statewide public defender system, and broadening the jury selection system to include a representative proportion of Native Americans on each jury panel.

T1  - Civic Crisis - Civic Challenge: Police-Community Relations in Memphis.
AN  - 63675251; ED177249
AB  - This report identifies and analyzes the problems that exist between the community and police in Memphis and offers recommendations toward their solution, focusing on a review of allegations of police misconduct. Major issues addressed include: (1) police policies and practices that affect relations with the community; (2) the Memphis community's perspective of police treatment of citizens, especially minority citizens; and (3) past efforts to improve police-community relations in Memphis, including the involvement of the Federal government. Evidence is presented to show that misconduct on the part of some Memphis police goes virtually unpunished by either police or city and local officials. Numerous recommendations for the improvement of police-community relations are directed toward the community at large as well as local and police officials. Recommendations are also made concerning the responsibility of the Federal government in preventing and combating the systematic denial of rights, including discrimination on the basis of race, in the administration of justice by local law enforcement officials.

T1  - Working with Your Schools. A Handbook of the Louisiana Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights.
AN  - 63756696; ED164656
AB  - In this handbook, the relationship of education to the United States Constitution is described for the benefit of students and their parents. Legislation, funding, and the decision-making process are examined as they relate to the public school system. Legal rights of students and parents with regard to many controversial issues, including suspensions, discrimination, corporal punishment, ability grouping, bilingual education and the Freedom of Information Act, are detailed. Recommendations are made about how to influence school decisions and how to evaluate educational programs. The Louisiana State Education Agencies and laws are described in terms of action strategies parents and students may use to assure that their rights are respected. Various legal facts about the Louisiana school system are listed in a question and answer format. Instructions are provided concerning when and how to file complaints and suggestions are made about dealing with schools, principals, guidance counselors, courts and State and Federal agencies. Sample forms for filing different complaints are reprinted. The two appendices provide practical information on dealing with people in the educational pyramid and on questions to ask in the school evaluation process. (WI)

T1  - A Paper Commitment: Equal Employment Opportunity in the Kentucky Bureau of State Police--A Report Prepared by the Kentucky Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.
AN  - 63735688; ED158033
AB  - A study was conducted to determine the extent and level of employment of minorities and women as sworn personnel in the Kentucky Bureau of State Police. Data was collected by means of personal interviews with Bureau officials, troopers, police personnel board members, and representatives of civic and nonprofit organizations as well as from Bureau employment records. It was found that (1) women have never been employed on the Bureau's sworn force; (2) minorities are seriously underrepresented, occupying only 2.2 percent of the force positions in 1977; (3) the Bureau has not demonstrated a commitment to equal employment opportunity; (4) as shown in its eligibility requirements that consist in part of job-unrelated selection procedures (physical specifications, veterans preference, a subjective background check, and personnel board approval), the Bureau has not adopted affirmative action policies; (5) significant future gains appear unlikely; and (6) action through federal judicial process is necessary to remedy the situation, and the suspension of funding from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration is the first step in such action. (A reply from the Bureau commissioner is also included, refuting the study's findings.) (ELG)

T1  - State Government Affirmative Action in Mid-America.
AN  - 63757389; ED163118
AB  - Presented in this document is a study undertaken by four State Advisory Committees to review the quality and the effectiveness of affirmative action activities in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. An overview of the four States' agencies responsible for education administration, employment services, highways, police, and social services indicates that no State exhibits consistent success or consistent failure. Almost all agencies reviewed, however, are shown to be consistent in their underutilization of women and minorities. In addition, Federal agencies with monitoring responsibilities and/or funding capabilities are found to have made only minimal efforts to compel affirmative action and to have not used their authority over funds to promote affirmative action efforts by State governments. Findings, recommendations, and conclusions of the Advisory Committees are presented for the areas of recruiting, hiring, training, and the promotion of full representation of minorities and women in public sector employment. Appendices provide information on race and sex composition of State agencies, and a comparison of State and agency affirmative action plans with a model plan. (Author/EB)

T1  - Affirmative Action in Salt Lake's Criminal Justice Agencies.
AN  - 63756389; ED163119
AB  - Utilizing guidelines provided by the United States Department of Justice and the Federal Government, the Utah Advisory Committee concludes in this report that all five criminal justice agencies it investigated in Salt Lake City and County are deficient in providing equal employment opportunity for women and minorities. Findings, recorded in tables and charts, indicate that: (1) in general, women and minorities are in low level positions; (2) no blacks or Native Americans were employed at any level in the court systems; (3) employees of the five criminal justice agencies demonstrated little awareness of the concept of equal employment opportunity; and (4) a recent reorganization of the city personnel system has initiated some actions to rectify the situation. Recommendations are made with regard to how the State legislature, the Federal government, and local administrative bodies can act to encourage implementation of a more effective affirmative action program.

T1  - The Quest for Equal Employment Opportunity in Oklahoma State Government.
AN  - 63752001; ED162011
AB  - This report summarizes the findings of recent hearings and field investigations on the employment of minorities and women in Oklahoma State government, and assesses whether or not the merit system has fulfilled its mandate for equal employment opportunity. It was found that a disproportionate number of females and minorities are concentrated in lower paying and less skilled jobs with little opportunity for upward mobility. In outlining the administrative and legal basis for the Oklahoma Merit System (a statewide system of personnel administration covering most State employees), it is noted that equal employment opportunity is a basic merit system principle. However, the merit system's passive prohibition of discriminatory practices has not been sufficient to assure its implementation. In analyzing the status of women and minorities in seven major State agencies, wide differences were found in job types and wages between whites and minorities and between males and females. There appears to be little or no integration of the agencies' affirmative action policies with their overall administrative and managerial structures. In short, the State's response to affirmative action and equal opportunity has been marked by an apparent lack of continuity or overall direction as to what policies should be pursued, especially at the agency level.

T1  - Bridging the Gap: A Reassessment.
AN  - 63672997; ED180696
AB  - This reassessment of a 1975 report on issues in Indian education and employment in the Twin Cities indicates that little progress has been made. Indians are less than half as likely to complete high school as the total Twin Cities' school population, they are three times as likely to be unemployed, and six times as likely to live in poverty. The income of Indian families is approximately one-half the income of other families. The most successful educational program has been the Indian scholarship program which currently enrolls 850-1000 students in college and vocational programs. Although substantiating data is not available, it appears that two alternative schools created to serve Indian students have lower dropout rates and greater parental approval than public schools and an effort to concentrate Indian students within specific public schools is meeting with success. While civil service practices such as Minneapolis'"rule of one" and the maintenance of "promotion only" jobs in St. Paul perpetuate the effect of prior discriminatory employment practices, new policies have opened employment opportunities in the Federal Government and the Minneapolis public schools. The Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) has placed Indian jobseekers. Recommendations include establishment of alternative Indian education programs, Indian studies curriculum, accurate assessment of educational programs, recording Indian labor force data, active recruitment of Indian employees, and development of a formula to encourage state departments of employment services to more actively place minority job seekers.

This report is concerned with the difficulties faced by members of the Chinese, Japanese, Filipino and Korean communities in the areas of immigration, employment, and as a result of media stereotyping of Asians. An overview of individual Asian communities in New York is presented, including brief histories and immigration statistics. Government policies, such as exclusion acts, regulation of visas for Asians, and the eligibility of immigrants for social security and public assistance, are reviewed. The employment of Asian Americans in New York is examined in terms of their representation in traditional and nontraditional industries. Statistics of Asian representation in restaurant, laundry and garment work, as well as in city and State government, the construction industry, and the health field, are presented. Government sponsored employment services and programs available locally to Asian immigrants are described. The effects of the stereotypic images of Asians projected by the media upon Asian American opportunities are described. (GC)

T1  - Affirmative Action or Inaction? The Pursuit of Equal Employment Opportunity in Cleveland.
AN  - 63748366; ED159276
AB  - This report documents the low economic status of minorities and women in Cleveland by examining inadequacies in the city's affirmative action plan, deficiencies in Cleveland's contract compliance program, and inconsistencies in the Federal government's civil rights enforcement effort. Four major problems with Cleveland's affirmative action plan are described: (1) the failure to identify specific problem areas in Cleveland's employment policies and practices which account for underutilization of women and minorities; (2) the failure to establish and implement action programs that would eliminate discrimination against women and minorities; (3) the statement of goals for only a one year period; and (4) the failure of the city to devote sufficient resources for implementation of an adequate affirmative action plan. Underutilization is described as the biggest factor in contract compliance deficiencies. It is stated that several of the largest beneficiaries of city business employ no minorities or women in professional, technical or administrative positions and most do not employ minorities or women at a rate that is even close to their representation in the Cleveland labor market. Also noted are inconsistencies in Federal agency grant requirements and regulations enforcement. Recommendations for redressing these problems are made. Appended are responses by various Cleveland officials and organizations to the charges of discrimination made in this report. (Author/EB)

T1  - Indian Employment in New Mexico State Government: 1977.
AN  - 63745209; ED161567
AB  - To update a 1974 report on the status of American Indian employment in the state of New Mexico, a 1977 study on the composition of the state's work force was undertaken, including descriptions of the overall distribution of state employment by job category, grade, and salary level. Despite progress, it was found that: (1) Indians still constituted only about 2% of the state's merit system work force; (2) Indian employees continued to be concentrated in a few agencies, with 60% working for the Employment Security Commission, Health and Social Services, and the Highway Department; (3) few Indians were employed even in areas where large proportions of Indians resided; (4) American Indians continued to be concentrated in low skill, low pay jobs with little upward mobility (almost 40% of all Indian employees were classified as paraprofessionals or in service/maintenance); (5) improvements notwithstanding, a disproportionate number of Indian employees remained concentrated in lower salary levels and in lowest grade levels (more than 72% of Indian employees were between grade levels 01 and 10 compared to almost 55% of entire work force, and only 9% were at or above level 15 compared to more than 20% of total employees). The report contains numerous statistical comparisons broken down by race/ethnicity and sex. (RS)

T1  - Liberty and Justice for All.
AN  - 63739132; ED161599
AB  - In order to assess the quality of justice available to Native Americans in Pennington and Charles Mix counties, South Dakota, investigations were conducted from June through November 1976 with a two-day informal hearing and 130 interviews around the state. Despite progress made during the last few years, Indian people continue to face problems in South Dakota's criminal justice system which place them at a severe disadvantage. Evidence exists of widespread abuse of police power throughout the state, including selective law enforcement, search and arrest without cause, harassment and brutal treatment, arrest of intoxicated persons on disorderly conduct charges, and simple discourtesies. Inexperience, difficulties in communication, and inherent conflicts of interest on the part of defense attorneys often hamper Native American defendants. Rarely do Native Americans serve on juries. This, along with prejudicial attitudes of juries, makes it very difficult to obtain an impartial jury. State-imposed trial delays, a high number of guilty pleas, and possible abuse of the plea bargaining system also testify to inadequacies in the criminal justice system. Twenty-two recommendations are made to alleviate disparities. These include hiring more Native Americans as law enforcement officers to improve communication, reviewing complaints of police misconduct, improving treatment and rehabilitation of alcoholics, training and employing Native American paralegal personnel to assist Indian defendants, and broadening the jury selection system to include a representative proportion of Native Americans on jury panels.

T1  - Equal Opportunity in the Fort Wayne Community Schools: A Continuing Struggle.
AN  - 63838913; ED155251
AB  - This report from the Indiana Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights discusses issues of equal educational opportunity in the Fort Wayne Community Schools (FWCS). It was found that, while racially identifiable junior and senior high schools have been eliminated, the proportion of minority students attending racially identifiable elementary schools increased from 67 percent in 1970 to 78 percent in 1975. From 1969 to 1975 there were several Title VI violations, including teacher and student assignment practices. In 1975, charges were dropped, except teacher assignment. Civil Rights violations are still being reviewed. A recent reorganization plan proposed by the FWCS superintendent has met opposition from many white and minority organizations, parents, and teachers. Opposition has centered on plans to close several inner city schools, build a new high school in an all white area, place the burden of busing entirely upon minority students, and desegregate only a portion of the elementary schools. Based on these findings, the Advisory Committee makes a number of recommendations to the FWCS, the Office for Civil Rights, and the Department of Justice regarding the Fort Wayne case. (Author/MC)

AB  - Presented are findings of a study to monitor programs for the educable mentally retarded (EMR) in California, with emphasis on the numbers of racial and ethnic minority students placed in EMR classes. The document is divided into six sections: an introductory section explaining impetus for the study; Section II with background information on the California Advisory Committee involvement in the investigation, EMR demography, and the increase in educationally handicapped enrollment; Section III on state legislative and judicial decisions regarding EMR programs and inappropriatedly placed minority (particularly Black) children; Section IV on the California Department of Education's administrative responsibilities in terms of the assessment and evaluation of students for placement in EMR programs; Section V on the California Master Plan for Special Education designed to correct such needs as clearer delineation of responsibility at the state, county, and local levels for the provision of special education; and a final section listing recommendations which include reviews and audits providing regular and systematic statistics on the ethnic composition of educationally handicapped classes in California school districts. Appended are a statement of concern by the Bay Area Association of Black Psychologists and additional comments from the California Department of Education. (SBH)

T1  - Justice in Flagstaff: Are These Rights Inalienable?
AN  - 63833144; ED148511
AB  - Utilizing official records and reports, the Arizona Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights conducted an investigation of the criminal justice process afforded American Indians in Flagstaff, Arizona. The investigation focused on Indian treatment from arrest through sentencing and 2 days of informal hearings held in both Tucson and Flagstaff during the fall of 1975. Specifically, the investigation centered on: the initial encounter with law enforcement officials; arrest information (about 40% of all people arrested in Flagstaff in 1974 were Indian--65% of those arrested for alcoholic related offenses); appearance in court; advisement of rights; right to counsel; right to bail or release on one's own recognizance; right to trial by jury; the guilty plea; and Flagstaff's Local Alcohol Reception Center (LARC). Findings indicated: unnecessary arrests in violation of the law had been made of persons who were intoxicated; the State and Flagstaff had failed to provide adequate funding for local alcohol centers; of those persons arrested for minor traffic offenses, illegal bond had been required of American Indians only; nonlawyer magistrates had failed to fully advise defendants of their constitutional rights; a fulltime court interpreter was needed for monolingual Indian defendants; a state-wide public defender system was needed to assure proper defense; and provisions needed to be made to insure that American Indians served on jury panels. The Committee developed 12 recommendations addressing the legal and operational specifics of its findings. (JC)

T1  - Hispanic Participation in Manpower Programs in Newark, New Jersey.
AN  - 63661726; ED178672
AB  - Focused on in this review is the extent to which Newark's Hispanics participate as clients, advisors, employees, administrators, and policymakers in city manpower programs funded through the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973 (CETA). A standard of 15% (estimated total Hispanic population in Newark) is used for measuring Hispanic representation in a number of these programs. Taken into account is the impact Newark's affirmative action plan has on minority participation in the city's manpower program. Data are presented and discussed for each of the programs reviewed. Findings indicate that, despite some improvements, Hispanics continue to be inadequately represented in practically all program agencies examined. Recommendations for increasing Hispanic staff representation to achieve a proposed goal of 10-15% Hispanic participation in the city's manpower program are made. Supplementary data and information are appended. (EB)

T1  - Access to the Medical Profession in Colorado by Minorities and Women. A Report Prepared by the Colorado Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.
AN  - 63914771; ED130806
AB  - During spring 1975, the Colorado Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights investigated four main areas where minorities and women traditionally encountered obstacles because of their minority status and/or sex: academic preparation at the preprofessional level and recruitment to a medical center, admission to medical school, learning opportunities in medical school, and appointment to residency programs and medical faculty positions. Ninety-four interviews were conducted with students, faculty, and staff from the University of Colorado (CU) School of Medicine and with representatives of various community agencies concerned with the health profession. Additional data were obtained at an informal hearing conducted by the connittee. Some findings were: severe underrepresentation of minorities and women in institutions of higher education, both in Colorado and nationally, limited the number of these students available to apply for medical school; failure of schools to provide adequate education and acquisition of study skills at the lower academic levels severely handicapped minority students preparing to enter medical school; and although CU School of Medicine made a special effort to recruit minorities, it made no special effort to recruit either minority or white women.

AB  - Montana's Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights investigated the effects of Montana's television and newspaper media on minorities and women. Focus was on the employment opportunities in and the images projected by the media. Interviews were conducted with management and staff of newspapers, news services, and television stations; faculty and students from the University of Montana and Montana State University; and other individuals and groups interested in media-related issues. Additional data were obtained at a 1-day conference held in Missoula to explore further issues relating to minorities and women and the media. Conference participants included representatives from TV stations in Great Falls and Missoula and newspapers from Great Falls, Butte, Billings, Helena, and Missoula. Relevant information was supplied by media representatives who did not attend. Findings included: minorities, specifically Native Americans, and women were underemployed and underrepresented in both television and the written news media; many newspapers printed articles concerning women which were biased and tended to depict them in traditional sex-stereotyped roles or in a negative fashion whenever women did not fit traditional sex roles; and reporting of news concerning both women and minorities was often unbalanced, stereotyped, or not reported.

T1  - Access to the Legal Profession in Colorado by Minorities and Women. A Report Prepared by the Colorado Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.
AN  - 63906161; ED129515
AB  - The Colorado Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights investigated the accessibility of the legal profession to minorities and women in Colorado and the difficulties encountered by minorities and women at the professional education level and in the bar examination. Local and national statistics were provided by the American Bar Association and other organizations related to the legal profession. Law school professors, minority and women law school students and attorneys, State Supreme Court judges, and other interested persons were interviewed. Information was also collected from the University of Colorado School of Law and the University of Denver College of Law. Testimony on the subject was heard at an open, public meeting on May 10, 1975. Findings included: despite recruitment efforts the lack of minority and female faculty and administrators was a serious problem at both law schools; minority and female students voiced strong complaints that negative attitudes based on race and sex manifested by some professors at both law schools were damaging to student performance; the financial aid available to minority students in law school was less than adequate and a severe handicap in some cases; and the bar examination in Colorado had a disparate and, therefore, discriminatory effect on minority applicants.

T1  - State Administration of Bilingual Education - Si o No?
AN  - 63901555; ED135226
AB  - This report was prepared for submission to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. It reviews the California State Department of Education's administration of state and federally funded bilingual programs and identifies specific Department policies and practices that may affect the success of district-level programs for language-minority students. Following introductory and background material on the Advisory Committee, populations, programs and legislation, the bulk of the report deals with the following: (1) the California State Department of Education's monitoring responsibilities; (2) recent developments in the Department of Education; (3) impact of the legislature; (4) findings and conclusions; and (5) recommendations. The basic finding is that the Department of Education has failed to ensure that California's non- and limited-English-speaking students receive equal educational opportunities. The report offers 20 recommendations dealing with a survey of the population in question, services for the state's language-minority students, Department coordination and personnel, bilingual project onsite reviews, enforcement, and legislative review of the Department's administration. Three appendices provide relevant population and program data. (CFM)

T1  - Civil Rights and the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974; Volume II: A Comparison with Model Cities.
AN  - 63659100; ED178674
AB  - The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 represents recent congressional action designed to improve the housing and living conditions of the nation's poor. Like the 1974 act, the older Federal model cities program (1968-72) was designed to benefit low and moderate income families, provide alternative uses for available funds, and allow city governments discretion in determining how money would be spent. The Michigan Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights has analyzed the history, intent, structure, implementation, regulation, and results of both laws, as well as the opinions of primary participants in both programs in the State of Michigan. The Committee has found that in terms of citizen participation, low income and minority individuals have had fewer opportunities to participate in decisionmaking under the newer act than they had under model cities legislation. Secondly, communities have increased the amount of resources going to physical development and decreased the amount for public service projects. This shift in funding has not been due to changing community needs, but primarily to the dismantling of citizen participation procedures prevalent under the model cities program. Both administrative and legislative actions are necessary to correct these inequities. (Author/GC)

T1  - Equal Education: A Right. A Handbook for Parents Who Want to Know More about Bilingual-Bicultural Education.
AN  - 63907350; ED134046
AB  - This handbook, written in both Spanish and English, is intended to assist parents and relatives of public school children in becoming active and well-informed participants in bilingual-bicultural education. The handbook attempts to do this in four ways: (1) by giving parents a clearer understanding of this educational approach; (2) by suggesting ways in which parents can help to create programs where they do not presently exist; (3) by helping parents determine for themselves whether existing programs are of real service to their children; and (4) by suggesting ways in which the parent can become most effectively involved in the design and operation of these programs. The main chapters of the handbook deal with the following; (1) what bilingual-bicultural education is and who benefits from it; (2) whether children will learn enough English in such a program; (3) what some of the competencies of a bilingual education teacher are; (4) how the instruction is scheduled in a bilingual-bicultural classroom; (5) what parents can do; (6) Illinois transitional Bilingual Education Act: a summary; and (7) other things parents can do to help.

T1  - The Six-District Plan. Integration of the Springfield, Mass., Elementary Schools. A Report of the Massachusetts Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights.
AN  - 63888270; ED133389
AB  - This report reviews the first year of integration, under the implementation of the Six-District Plan, of the elementary schools in Springfield, Massachusetts. Through this plan the school department changed the racial composition in five previously imbalanced elementary schools and integrated the elementary school system. Redistricting, the reassignment of students, and the transportation of students were major tools in this plan. A profile of both the community and the school system is provided in the report, and the historical events that led up to school integration are reviewed. In the description of the plan, special attention is given to the problem of students from Spanish-speaking backgrounds. The city of Springfield was able to integrate its elementary schools with a minimum of trouble. Some of the factors responsible for this are: The school department worked over several years to develop and implement the plan. Both the mayor and the school superintendent lent their leadership and support. In addition, Springfield's prior experience in integrating the junior and senior high schools probably facilitated integration of the elementary schools. The plan is still opposed by many residents who believe that mandatory busing is not the appropriate path to integration. Of much greater seriousness is the unsolved problem of the Puerto Rican students. (Author/AM)

T1  - General Revenue Sharing in St. Louis City and County.
AN  - 63684651; ED179635
AB  - Unlike typical Federal catergorical grants which are highly specific, General Revenue Sharing grants (GRS) are free of restrictions or conditions. The Missouri Advisory Committee, in viewing the impact of GRS on St. Louis City and County, received evidence regarding: (1) the nature of GRS-funded expenditures; (2) the limits of citizen participation; (3) the extent of job or facility discrimination in activities funded with GRS money; (4) the consequences of methods for calculating entitlements; and (5) the extent of Office of Revenue Sharing supervision. All of these suggested to the Advisory Committee the need for change. Among the findings were: neither city nor county used GRS funds to support long term programs specifically designed to benefit those with greatest need, minorities and the poor; neither sought to improve the effectiveness of ongoing social programs or to provide for newly identified social needs; neither city nor county provided ample opportunity for citizen participation. Additional findings and recommendations are enumerated. (Author/RLV)

T1  - Georgia Prisons.
AN  - 63660004; ED178671
AB  - Findings from a study of Georgia's 16 adult penal institutions indicate that the State's prison system is plagued by many problems. For example, inadequate funds are allocated to maintain facilities and services for its prisoners. As a result, many of the prisons are antiquated, overcrowded and understaffed. In addition, minorities are not hired proportionate to their numbers in the State's population. Discriminatory racial patterns are also found with regard to minority prisoners in prison work assignments, educational and vocational opportunities, and in the overall treatment of inmates. In order to rectify some of these problems, it is suggested that the State legislature and the Board of Corrections take action to recruit more black employees' provide more opportunities for inmates to learn marketable skills, and to expand academic training for prisoners.

T1  - Nebraska's Official Civil Rights Agencies. A Report of the Nebraska Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights...
AN  - 63885729; ED135879
AB  - Four state official civil rights agencies (the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission, the Commission on Indian Affairs, the Mexican-American Commission and the Nebraska Commission on the Status of Women) and four local civil rights agencies (the Commission on Human Rights of the City of Grand Island, the Lincoln Commission on Human Rights, the Omaha Human Relations Department, and the Mayor's Commission on the Status of Women in Omaha) are described in this report. This investigation shows that most of the agencies face similar problems: inadequate budget, false expectations by client groups, insufficient staff, lack of adequate staff training, and limited powers. Among the recommendations that are made to the state legislature and to the individual state agencies are the following: amending the enabling legislation of the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission, the Mexican-American Commission, and the Commission on Indian Affairs; having each agency analyze its training needs; giving enforcement agencies the power to initiate investigations of patterns and practices of a denial of civil rights; and upgrading the budgets of the agencies examined to a level commensurate with the agency's responsibilities.

T1  - Indian Employment in New Mexico State Government.
AN  - 63747695; ED161566
AB  - Examining employment of American Indians in New Mexico state government, the New Mexico Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights found little change between small numbers of Indian employees in 1972 and 1974 figures. Though the State Personnel Office has made efforts to institute new programs and policies related to Indian employment, major deterrents remain in the lower Indian educational level, location of state jobs away from Indian populations, and written qualification tests that are not always job related and which contain language and cultural barriers. Committee recommendations were made for each of the following findings: (1) only 2 percent of state government employees are Indians; (2) these employees are concentrated in three agencies (Employment Security Commission, Health and Social Services, Highway Department), and are predominately in lower paying positions; (3) specific standards are lacking for required state agency annual affirmative action plans; (4) written tests are still the main job qualification instrument; (5) an outreach program responsible for contacting and recruiting minority applicants and upgrading employees has had little impact; (6) no systemwide cultural awareness program exists to educate state personnel about Indian values and cultural needs; and (7) lack of consistent state effort to actively recruit American Indians for employment.

T1  - The Farmington Report: A Conflict of Cultures. A Report of the New Mexico Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights.....
AN  - 63906383; ED132236
AB  - In response to numerous complaints from Navajo leaders, the New Mexico Advisory Committee undertook this study of the complex social and economic relationships that bind the city of Farmington and the Navajo Reservation. This report examines issues relating to community attitudes; the administration of justice; provisions of health and medical services; alcohol abuse and alcoholism; employment; and economic development on the Navajo Reservation and its real and potential impact on the city of Farmington and San Juan County. From testimony of participants during a three-day open meeting in Farmington and from extensive field investigation, the Advisory Committee has concluded that Native Americans in almost every area suffer from injustice and maltreatment. Recommendations are addressed to local, county, State, and Federal agencies. They include: establishing a human relations committee in Farmington; developing a comprehensive alcohol abuse and alcoholism program; coordination between public and private health facilities to provide adequate services to Navajos; upgrading the community relations program of the Farmington Police Department; affirmative action by private and public employers; and compliance with the "Indian Preference" clause by private employers on the reservations.

T1  - A Decade of Waiting in Cairo. A Report of the Illinois Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights...
AN  - 63891440; ED133390
AB  - This is a report prepared by the Illinois Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights. It deals with how local, state and federal officials, as well as private individuals and groups, have dealt with Cairo, Illinois' racial and economic problems. The areas addressed are employment, housing, health, and law enforcement. It has been found that the impact of civil rights legislation has still not reached Cairo after nearly a decade. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has not yet processed its discrimination charges. The State Fair Employment Practices Commission admits it has done "nothing" to end discrimination in Cairo because it does not have the money or legislative authority to take effective action. The City Council lets its attitude towards Blacks stand in the way of selling vacant property to a corporation willing and able to build desperately needed low-income housing for the city's poor. A segregated all-white school continues to operate with the support of federally sponsored tax exempt status while the public school system nears financial ruin. In spite of these failures, Blacks have accomplished a great deal during the past decade. For instance, the biracial board of directors and black administrative staff of a housing corporation have successfully overcome the roadblocks of the City Council and have provided low-income housing for poor whites and blacks.

T1  - Civil Rights and the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974; Volume 1: Livonia.
AN  - 63659536; ED178673
AB  - The primary objective of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 is the development of viable urban communities, including decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities. This report focuses on the attempts of Livonia, Michigan, to obtain funds under the act. Examined are the areas of citizen participation, assistance for eligible persons, and civil rights compliance. It is stated that in all three areas, Livonia's application for funds under the 1974 act and the process leading to its development have been deficient. One particular problem is said to have been the city's failure to affirmatively address the housing needs of non-resident workers who may wish to reside in Livonia. It is recommended that the Federal Government amend selected procedures for application for funding, and that the Livonia city government also modify parts of its application for funding in order to increase compliance with affirmative action and other civil rights legislation. Appended to the report are descriptions of several civil rights laws affecting the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. (Author/GC)

T1  - A Dream Unfulfilled: Korean and Pilipino Health Professionals in California.
AN  - 63974860; ED117283
AB  - This report details concerns of specific Asian and Pacific American Communities and examines the degree to which government agencies at federal state, and local levels have made efforts to resolve these problems, or, in some cases, contribute to them. The study deals with educational opportunities afforded Chinese American youth; housing and redevelopment problems faced by Japanese Americans; allegations of inadequate social services allocated to Pacific Americans; the various problems faced by the elderly within the Pilipino communities; and the difficulties encountered by Korean and Philippine-educated professionals in obtaining state licensure. State licensure policies are examined in four health fields as they affect the large number of Koreans and Philippines born and educated professionals residing in California. The difficulties encountered by these subgroups in resuming their professions are said to present significant socioeconomic problems within the Asian and Pacific communitiesin that they lack adequate health care and medical services and are deprived of the services of trained medical personnel with whom they could communicate effectively. Among the recommendations made are that the state licensure boards review their standards to see that qualified professionals are not screened out, and that they endorse and actively support training programs for foreign-educated in the medically-related professions.

T1  - Indiana Migrants: Blighted Hopes, Slighted Rights. A Report Prepared by the Indiana Advisory Committee to the United State Commission on Civil Rights.
AN  - 63991482; ED123024
AB  - Each summer more than 18,000 migrant farmworkers and their families travel to Indiana from Texas, Florida, Missouri, and Arkansas to plant, cultivate, and harvest the State's crops. Of these, more than 80 percent are Mexican Americans from Texas. These migrants work in 43 counties, primarily in the State's central region. The migrant population hits its peak in early September during the tomato harvest, when more than 10,000 migrants are in the field. Yet, the migrant farmworker is subject to unequal protection under the laws of Indiana and of the United States. He is among the lowest paid, least educated, worst housed, and most medically improvished groups in Indiana. Therefore, on August 16-17, 1974 the Indiana Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights held an informal hearing in response to complaints concerning migrant living and working conditions. The Committee's intent was to study and collect data regarding the alleged denial of equal protection of the law to migrant farmworkers in Indiana, and to appraise local, State, and Federal laws and policies with respect to equal protection of the laws. This report presents the Committee's findings, conclusions, and recommendations in the areas of migrant employment, education, health, housing, and welfare. Federal and Indiana laws affecting migrant farmworkers are discussed in the appendix. (NQ)

T1  - Asian Americans and Pacific Peoples: A Case of Mistaken Identity.
AN  - 64033839; ED110550
AB  - This report prepared by the California Advisory Committee for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is said to constitute an initial attempt to present a demographic sketch of Asian Americans and Pacific Peoples and to describe generally the areas in which they encounter significant problems. In order to destroy existing stereotypes about Asian Americans, the Committee sought these populations' own perception of their concerns and needs. Sources of information used to supplement the scant official data available included interviews with community representatives, transcripts from two open meetings attended by the Asian American and Pacific Peoples sub-groups, and community-generated papers and reports. Four sections entitled Myths and Stereotypes, Asian Americans and Pacific Peoples-Demographic Factors, Communities' Perceptions of Issues and Concerns, and Recommendations constitute the document. Subdivisions to the Demographic Factors include Immigration Trends, Urban and Rural Settlement Patterns, the Population in California, and the Effects of Inaccurate, Hidden, or Unavailable Data. The six communities consulted were the Chinese, Guamanian, Japanese, Korean, Filipinos, and Samoan Americans of California. Among recommendations made were an immediate measurement and reassessment of census data and of specific needs of all Asian Americans and Pacific Peoples. Provisions for bilingual services were also suggested. (AM)

T1  - Bridging the Gap: The Twin Cities Native American Community.
AN  - 64040744; ED107412
AB  - As part of its responsibility to advise the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights concerning civil rights problems within the State, the Minnesota Advisory Committee submitted this report of its 6-month study on urban American Indians in the Twin Cities. During its investigation, which culminated in open hearings in January 1974, the Advisory Committee examined the responsiveness of Twin Cities institutions to Native Americans in the areas of employment, education, administration of justice, and health care. Interviews were conducted with citizens of the Indian community; local, State, and Federal officials; educators; officials from private agencies; and other resource persons. The Advisory Committee found that Native Americans were afflicted with much of the cultural, social, and economic damage felt by other minority groups. Their situation was complicated by the Federal Government's failure to honor treaty obligations and statutory responsibilities. Among its other findings were: (1) Indian-oriented programs which have had a beneficial impact on the administration of justice, especially the Legal Rights Center, Inc. and the St. Paul American Indian Movement (AIM) patrol, ran the risk of discontinued funding; (2) the dropout rate for Native American students was significantly higher than for students of other races; and (3) at all levels of government employment, Indians held the lower paying positions.

T1  - Minorities and Women in Government: Practice Versus Promise.
AN  - 63975125; ED118665
AB  - In 1973, the Rhode Island Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights initiated a comprehensive project to review equal employment opportunity (EEO) in State and selected local government bodies in Rhode Island. In its project, the Advisory Committee examined employment practices and affirmative action efforts to recruit, hire, and promote minorities and women in State government and in the cities of Providence, East Providence, and Newport. Approximately 40 State and local officals were interviewed by Advisory Committee members and Commission staff. Data from Federal reports and other publications were collected and analyzed. These investigations culminated in open, public meetings held November 14-16, 1973, in the State House in Providence. Sixty-two persons, including Federal, State, and local officials and representatives of unions, community, civic, minority, and women's groups testified. At the meetings, the entire employment systems of the four governments were examined. This report summarizes the Advisory Committee's general findings and recommendations. It includes a summary of the Federal and State mandate for equal employment opportunity, a section on each government under review, and a summary of some alternative reforms for civil service systems.

T1  - Federal and State Services and the Maine Indian. A Report of the Maine Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights.
AN  - 63974638; ED118296
AB  - Pursuant to its responsibilities to advise the Commission on Civil Rights, the Maine Advisory Committee's hearings, investigations, and recommendations relative to Federal and State services for American Indians in Maine are detailed in this report. Dealing first with policy and law as manifest in: (1) Self-Determination; (2) Federal Indian Services; (3) State Policy and State Services; (4) Conflict in the State of Maine, This report also presents the committee's recommendations for the following: (1) Economic and Community Development; (2) Housing; (3) Health; (4) Education; (5) Welfare; (6) Foster Care; and (7) Law Enforcement and Public Safety. Major conclusions cited in this report are: (1) Maine Indians are being denied services provided other Native Americans by Federal agencies which is not only discriminatory but is also placing a disproportionate tax burden on Maine taxpayers. (2) Half the Indians in Maine are not receiving State Indian services because they live off-reservation. (3) The State should develop an integrated service program to serve all Maine Indians (Maliseets, Passamaquoddys, Penobscots, and Micmacs) regardless of their residency. (4) Current socioeconomic statistics reveal longstanding discriminatory practices (45 percent substandard housing, 65 percent unemployment, severe health problems, nonexistent bicultural education, and 4 out of 136 Indian foster children in Indian foster homes).

T1  - Warehousing Human Beings: A Review of the New York State Correctional System.
AN  - 63684612; ED179637
AB  - In 1970, the New York Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights undertook a study of the State Department of Correctional Services. Using information obtained from observations and from interviews with officials, staff, and inmates, the investigation focused upon the impact of the system on minorities and women. In the process, the larger areas of incarceration and parole were reviewed. This report presents the findings of the study through 1972. The racial/ethnic composition of correctional staff (less than 8% minority) is contrasted with that of the inmate population (72.5% minority) in the ten State institutions for men. Changes in policy and conditions since 1970 are reviewed. Included in this discussion is information on the role of correctional personnel, censorship, inmate assignment to institutions, racism, inmate works assignments, and educational programs. The Clinton and Auburn correctional facilities and the women's division of the Bedford Hills correctional facility are described in some detail, in terms of race/ethnicity of the inmate population, temporary work release programs, and health and medical care provided. The procedures and effectiveness of the State parole system are reviewed and criticized. A list of recommendations for the correctional system and for specific institutions is presented. (GC)

T1  - Bilingual/Bicultural Education--A Privilege or a Right? Education Bilingue/Bicultural--Un Privilegio o un Derecho?
AN  - 64051033; ED097167
AB  - Prepared by the Illinois State Advisory Committee for submission to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, this report focused on the growing concern among Latino parents, students, and community leaders over alleged violations of Latino students' rights to an education in Chicago, the only city in the United States with a large population of both Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans. Two general assumptions contributed to the focus on education: (1) the total development of the Latino community depends on the kind of educational opportunities available; and (2) more Latinos are directly affected by the educational system than by any other public institution since 75 percent of Latino families have children. Information was gathered from a variety of sources. Topics covered included enrollment, teachers, administrators, educational policy and practice, funding and the law, and the need for institutional change. Some findings were: (1) a pluralistic education program does not yet exist in Chicago's public schools, thus resulting in the systematic denial of these students' rights to an education; (2) the alienation of students, parents, and Latino community leaders from educational institutions is increasing; and (3) cultural and linguistic bias in testing and placement underestimates Latino students' abilities.

T1  - Blacks in the Arkansas Delta.
AN  - 63974372; ED118681
AB  - In November 1971, the Arkansas State Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights conducted a two-day open meeting in West Memphis, Arkansas, to examine the problems of black people living in the Delta region of Arkansas. More than 40 people were invited to express their views concerning the problems of black people living in the Arkansas Delta. Issues related to the political participation of blacks in local and State government were discussed, and the administration of justice as it relates to black citizens in the Delta was examined. Also discussed was the manifold economic and social welfare problems of blacks living in the region. The present document is a report of the principal findings of the open meetings and subsequent investigations. The contents of the report include an introductory section, findings and recommendations, appended communications and Arkansas statutes, and three chapters, entitled respectively: The Economic and Social Welfare Conditions of Blacks in Eastern Arkansas, Political ParticiPation of Blacks in the Arkansas Delta, and The Administration of Justice in the Arkansas Delta.

T1  - Report on Indian Education; State of Washington.
AN  - 63746367; ED158935
AB  - Most treaties negotiated with Indian tribes between 1778 and 1868 contain a clause insuring that the federal government will provide Indians with full educational opportunity in exchange for their ceded lands. This promise has not been fulfilled. Indian students are dropping out of Washington schools at rates estimated between 38-60 percent; schools have not been meeting the apparent needs of Indian children. This failure is attributed to several factors. Parents have been discouraged or excluded from school decision making policy; in two districts where Indians have had some control, dropout rates dropped appreciably. Many teachers are ignorant or indifferent to their Indian students' needs and backgrounds; necessity exists for preparing more Indian teachers and sensitizing non-Indian teachers. Disparity exists over funding. Because of existing federal regulations, over half the Indian students are ineligible for funds specifically designed to help them, yet most local and state school systems are unresponsive to their needs unless federal funds are available. Among the eight recommendations concluding the report are: establishing responsibility in one state agency for improvement of Indian education; developing and expanding teacher training programs specifically related to the needs of Indian children; and enacting legislation to ensure that both urban and reservation Indians participate fully in state and local educational systems.

T1  - In Search of a Better Life: The Education and Housing Problems of Puerto Ricans in Philadelphia.
AN  - 64040353; ED099443
AB  - In early 1972, the Pennsylvania State Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights turned its attention to the growing Puerto Rican population in Philadelphia, a population estimated to be anywhere from 30,000 to 125,000. A two-day open meeting or informal hearing was held on June 6 and 7, 1972, to look at two major problem areas for Puerto Ricans in Philadelphia--education for their children, and housing for their families. On June 6, teachers, students, parents, Puerto Rican community leaders, and representatives of State, and local education agencies talked about the problems Puerto Ricans encounter in the city's elementary and secondary schools. The second day, June 7, was devoted to a discussion of housing. Residents of the Spring Garden and Northeast sections of Philadelphia covered the problems of substandard housing. They described the lack of public housing, the deteriorating conditions of most buildings, and the problems encountered by Puerto Ricans who would like to buy a home. Federal and local housing officials described various housing programs and the guidelines which must be met to secure funds for buying and rehabilitating housing. This report is based on background investigations by the field staff of the Commission on Civil Rights and the Pennsylvania State Advisory Committee, and testimony received during the open meeting.

T1  - Obstacles to Financing Minority Enterprises.
AN  - 63682624; ED179638
AB  - In 1972, the District of Columbia Advisory Committee initiated an inquiry to determine the role that discrimination has played in limiting minority business enterprises in the Washington area. Meetings were held in which businessmen, representatives of technical assistance organizations, government officials, and bankers examined the question of whether, or to what degree, minority businessmen are denied loans, loan guarantees, and other forms of credit by the traditional money markets because of race. This report summarizes information obtained through interviews and from presentations during the open and closed meetings. Discussed are criteria for determining bank loans, minority businessmen's views of banks and the Small Business Administration (SBA), and the views of technical assistance personnel toward banks and the SBA. Bankers' responses to criticism levelled against their institutions are also presented. Approaches taken in various cities toward solving the financial difficulties of minority businessmen are outlined, as are legal approaches to the problem of discrimination in lending. The Advisory Committee's recommendations for preventing further discrimination are presented. Appended to the report are a petition directed toward Federal regulatory agencies, letters from District of Columbia banks regarding their lending policies, and statistical data on loans granted to black and Hispanic businessmen.

T1  - Closing the Ethnic Gap.
AN  - 64039339; ED106396
AB  - In this report, the Vermont State Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights argues that at all levels of the educational system in Vermont, there is need for increased awareness and sensitivity to the need for education on human relations. Educators must become aware of the importance of this need even though Vermont has a recial and ethnic minority of less than one-half of one percent. State Advisory Committee members who met with representatives of the State Department of Education left with the impression that the Department had good intentions, but no authority or funds to plan or implement programs in the area of human relations. Since 50 percent of Vermont's teachers are trained in Vermont colleges, there is obvious need for instruction in the area of human relations and minority groups. The Burlington branch of the NAACP is the only one of the three organizations interviewed by the State Committee that is actively working with schools on the need for multi-racial, multi-ethnic education. Committee members felt that the Vermont Educational Association was the only educational organization aware of the need for education in Vermont concerning human rights and minority groups.

T1  - The Schools of Guadalupe... A Legacy of Educational Oppression.
AN  - 64107727; ED087584
AB  - The document reported an investigation into the Guadalupe Union School District in the spring 1972 by the California State Advisory Committee (U.S. Commission on Civil Rights). Complaints prompting the investigation dealt with (1) poor quality education not geared to meet the needs of Mexican American child, (2) failure to hire bilingual bicultural Mexican American staff, (3) corporal punishment, (4) failure to involve Mexican American parents in the school, and (5) harassment of individuals who complained about the school system. At the May 20 public open meeting, 28 persons testified, such as the superintendent, school principals, parents, former students, and attorneys. The Advisory Committee identified 4 issues of paramount concern--general educational practices, staffing practices, corporal punishment, and patterns of reprisal. The 4 issues were analyzed and 6 recommendations were presented; i.e., that the U.S. Office of Education initiate a review of the district's educational practices as they relate to Mexican Americans, and that the U.S. Department of Justice investigate and act upon apparent civil rights violations in this district. The appendices presented relevant statistics and correspondence. (FF/KM)

T1  - The Puerto Rican and Public Employment in New York State. A Report.
AN  - 64054356; ED102220
AB  - The five-session open meeting of the New York State Advisory committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights in November 1971 in Rochester, Buffalo, and Albany was part of an overall Commission project dealing with problems confronting Puerto Ricans and other Spanish--speaking persons in the eastern part of the U.S. The Rochester and Buffalo hearings of the New York State Advisory Committee focused on the employment of Puerto Rican and other Spanish-surnamed persons in city and county government. Witnesses who appeared before the New York Committee in Rochester and Buffalo included officials from both city and county Civil Service Commissions and from selected city and county agencies, as well as members of the Puerto Rican communities in Rochester, Monroe County, Buffalo, and Erie County. Much data and hundreds of exhibits were collected both prior to, during and after the hearings. This material, as well as tapes of the hearings in the three localities, are available at the Northeastern Regional Office of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights in New York City. In the interest of brevity, however, this reported attempts to summarize this material in the form of findings and recommendations. (Author/JM)

T1  - Negligencia en la Educacion de Estudiantes Mexico-Americanos en el Distrito Escolar Unificado Lucia Mar, Pismo Beach, California. (Educational Neglect of Mexican-American Students in Lucia Mar Unified School District, Pismo Beach, California.)
AN  - 64106517; ED091099
AB  - California State Advisory Committee (SAC) of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights held hearings in Santa Maria, California (May 20, 1972) to collect information on civil rights problems of Mexican American students in the Lucia Mar School District. Major issues were community complaints about the arrest of 26 Mexican American students and some parents who peacefully demonstrated to express dissatisfaction with the treatment given Chicano students at Arroyo Grande High School. On October 6, 1972, SAC members, along with school officials, community representatives, and the new president of the school board, met privately. The present study, with recommendations, was submitted as the result of the extensive investigations. The recommendations included: (1) the establishment and public announcement of objectives for the recruitment of Mexican American personnel and students in order to establish a proportionate ethnic balance, thus guaranteeing a conglomerate of employees to establish good relations with the Chicano students; and (2) that an intensive effort be made to make the curriculum and district program, at all levels, more pertinent to the bicultural student, reflecting the historical and cultural role Mexican Americans played in the development of California and the Southwest.

T1  - El Boricua: The Puerto Rican Community in Bridgeport and New Haven.
AN  - 64042799; ED105043
AB  - Organized in sex sections, this report summarizes the principal findings of an investigation by the Connecticut State Advisory Committee to the U. S. Commission on Civil Rights into areas of employment and health in New Haven, education and housing in Bridgeport, and the anti-poverty and model cities programs of both cities. The investigation included public hearings at Bridgeport on October 5, 1971 and in New Haven on October 6 and 7, 1971, at which time, state and local officials and representatives of the Puerto Rican community testified. In section One, "City Employment in New Haven" the Committee recommends that the city of New Haven should develop and officially adopt an affirmative action program. It is recommended in section Two, "Health Care of Puerto Ricans in New Haven" that the Governor appoint a committee to study the health problems of Puerto Ricans in the State of Connecticut. Section Three, "Education in Bridgeport" includes the recommendation that the Bridgeport Board of Education should initiate and analyze an accurate record of ethnic statistics on student dropouts. Other recommendations are specified in those and the remaining three sections of the report, focusing on "Housing in Bridgeport", Anti-poverty Agencies in Bridgeport and New Haven", and "Model Cities in New Haven and Bridgeport," respectively.

T1  - Issues of Concern to Puerto Ricans in Boston and Springfield.
AN  - 64180092; ED069823
AB  - This report concerns conditions in Boston and Springfield, the cities with the largest concentrations of Puerto Ricans in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The lack of adequate statistics on living conditions of Puerto Ricans remains one of the main barriers to determining a solution for any problem of the Puerto Rican community. This situation is particularly serious for the school children, who are classified as "white" or "nonwhite" but never as Puerto Rican. A second impediment permeating all Puerto Rican problems is the language barrier. Agencies in Boston and Springfield consistently had insufficient Spanish-speaking personnel, placing the Puerto Rican in the fringe area of a man who knows his needs but who can find no one to listen. The report is based on three sources of information: statements of speakers at an open meeting held May 11-13, 1971; exhibits submitted directly to the Committee; and telephone conversations with speakers following the open meeting. The contents of these hearings are organized in six parts: education, employment, housing, social services, antipoverty and Model Cities programs, and Federal enforcement. (Author/JM)

T1  - The Black Student in the Wisconsin State Universities System.
AN  - 64240970; ED062955
AB  - The Wisconsin State Committee and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights have received many complaints of discrimination against minority students on the campuses and in the communities which house the Wisconsin State Universities. The Committee and Commission staff reviewed the complaints and decided to conduct an inquiry into problems associated with minority enrollment, more specifically, black enrollment, in the Wisconsin State University System. The complaints received pertained mostly to events at WSU-Whitewater and WSU-Oshkosh. In each case the local WSU administration instituted disciplinary action against a group of black students who allegedly committed acts of mass violence. In each instance special academic disciplinary proceedings were instituted by the Office of WSU Regents in Madison, and students were additionally tried in court on criminal complaints. This report is based on the data and impressions gained from the extensive interviews conducted on campus and in the local communities, and from the responses gained from circulated questionnaires.

AB  - The California State Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights met on January 21-22, 1971, to discuss the political participation of Mexican Americans. This paper presents the committee's discussion and recommendations. Matters that are pertinent to the participation of Mexican Americans in the Political life of California are discussed. These matters include the issue of reapportionment and its effect on the Mexican American community, voter rights, influence in major political parties, political use of police and the courts, political appointments, and Mexican American political problems in both rural and urban areas. Political racism in California is also examined. The appendix includes letters to the State Assembly and State Senate and corresponding replies, a table carrying numbers of Spanish-surname votes (in 1 district) in the 1970 Democratic congressional primary election, and a discussion of Mexican American participation in California government.

T1  - "Walk Together Children." A Report of the Iowa State Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights on Housing and Education in Waterloo, Iowa.
AN  - 64175134; ED078114
AB  - Equal education and open housing have become issues of an increasingly serious concern throughout the Nation. American communities are beset by the complexity of those interrelated problems that inexorably indicate inequality for minority citizens. In response to this, the Iowa State Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights held a closed meeting to investigate the problems of Waterloo, Iowa. It was felt that this investigation would clarify and perhaps present solutions not only for the serious situation in Waterloo, but for similar communities throughout the country. Waterloo is a medium-size conservative midwestern city with the second largest black population in Iowa. Its black population is strong, with a diversity of income, power, and ability. The advantage, however, remains with the established system which can, by the release or suppression of crucial information, frustrate the efforts of volunteer groups seeking to alleviate the status quo. Waterloo citizens reported that the city's supply of safe, sanitary housing is inadequate. This is especially true for the poor and minorities. The urban renewal figures, which indicate that more than 50 percent of Waterloo's black population lives in substandard housing, reflect this. Studies of the Waterloo schools indicate a reluctance on the part of the system to provide an adequate and equal education for the black students in the community. This failure to confront and correct an obvious problem inevitably adds to the city's racial strife. (Author/JM)

T1  - Understanding School Desegregation.
AN  - 64297302; ED047081
AB  - The great progress of recent years towards school integration has not been uniform: pockets of resistance remain and the issues involved in school desegregation continue to arouse public controversy and confusion. Sixteen years after the Supreme Court (in Brown vs Topeka) had ruled that school segregation compelled or sanctioned by law unconstitutional, there is still no widespread understanding of the nature and scope of the issues. The Civil Rights Commission believes that public understanding of the issues involved in school desegregation is essential if they are to be resolved satisfactorily. Many of these issues are legal in nature and require careful analysis of relevant court decisions. Other issues involve practical questions concerning the quality of education afforded to the Nation's children. Still others relate to fundamental human and moral questions of national conscience. The Commission speaks out in the hope that it can shed light on the issues and, by so doing, contribute to their successful resolution. The issue of school desegregation, like other issues of national concern, has roots deep in history; to understand fully the present situation and to form a sound basis for determining courses of action for the future, what that history has been must first be understood.

T1  - REPORT ON RACIAL IMBALANCE IN THE BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
AN  - 64459432; ED001521
AB  - EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEGROES IN THE BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS WERE EXAMINED. RACIAL CONCENTRATIONS IN BOSTON'S SCHOOLS VARY WIDELY ACCORDING TO THE GRADE LEVEL OF THE PUPIL. THE VAST MAJORITY OF PUBLIC SCHOOL PUPILS ATTENDED SCHOOLS THAT WERE MORE THAN 90 PERCENT WHITE IN ENROLLMENT. ONE POLICY OF THE BOSTON SCHOOL COMMITTEE REGARDING INTEGRATION INCLUDED THE BUILDING OF NEW SCHOOLS, SITES WERE SELECTED TO AVOID RACIALLY UNBALANCED SCHOOLS. ANOTHER WAS OPEN ENROLLMENT. A COMPARISON OF PREDOMINANTLY WHITE, NONWHITE, AND INTEGRATED SCHOOLS SHOWED THAT THE PREDOMINANTLY NEGRO SCHOOLS WERE NOT MORE OVERCROWED THAN THE PREDOMINANTLY WHITE SCHOOLS. YET THE PREDOMINANTLY NEGRO SCHOOLS WERE AT A DISADVANTAGE BECAUSE OF THE HIGH PROPORTION OF PUPILS WHO SHOULD BE ATTENDING SPECIAL CLASSES. TESTS GIVEN TO CHILDREN IN BOSTON SCHOOLS SHOWED THAT THE MARGIN BY WHICH CHILDREN IN PREDOMINANTLY WHITE DISTRICTS SCORE AHEAD OF CHILDREN IN PREDOMINANTLY NEGRO DISTRICTS GREW LARGER WITH AGE, BOTH AS TO INTELLIGENCE RATIOS AND READING ACHIEVEMENT. SOME OF THE COMPENSATORY PROGRAMS UTILIZED INCLUDED OPERATION COUNTERPOISE, A PREVENTIVE PROGRAM DESIGNED TO CATCH DESIRABLE SITUATIONS IN THEIR BEGINNING STATES, TO IMPROVE CHILDREN'S ATTITUDES TOWARD SCHOOL, AND TO INSPIRE STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE WHICH SHOULD BE CARRIED OVER INTO THE SECONDARY SCHOOL. OTHER PROGRAMS INCLUDED TEACHER TRAINING IN HUMAN RELATIONS, AND PRIVATE TUTORING PROGRAMS. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE INCLUDED HAVING THE APPROPRIATE OFFICIALS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REALIZE THAT RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN PUBLIC HOUSING CONTRIBUTES TO SEGREGATION IN BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
