Strengthening Civil Rights: Easier Lawsuits for Unintended Discrimination

This act aims to make it easier for citizens to sue in cases where policies or practices, even if not intentionally discriminatory, have a negative impact on certain groups. It also mandates that educational institutions designate an employee to oversee compliance with equality rules and establishes a special assistant within the Department of Education to support these efforts. This gives citizens more avenues to combat inequalities and seek justice.
Key points
Easier legal action: Citizens can now sue institutions if their actions, even unintentional, lead to inequality, which was previously more difficult.
Increased accountability for educational institutions: Schools and universities receiving federal funds must appoint an employee to coordinate equality efforts and handle complaints.
Support within the Department of Education: A new position is created to help enforce equality provisions and inform citizens of their rights.
