  • Description: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 state that, in any program or activity that receives federal funds, “No person in the United States shall … be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination” on the basis of race, color, and national origin (Title VI) or sex (Title IX). The Office for Civil Rights is likely to be where much of the impact of the Supreme Court’s ban on race-conscious admissions gets hammered out. Perry, then a finance professor at the University of Michigan at Flint, had heard that Michigan State University, 50 miles west, still had a space set aside for women in its student union, decades after the demise of its men’s lounge. There are no rules governing how the 12 regional offices of the Office for Civil Rights handle complaints involving single-sex and race-restricted scholarships and programs, and every resolution letter includes a clause that it “is not a formal statement of OCR policy and should not be relied upon, cited, or construed as such.”
