Responding to Title VI Discrimination Complaints

​Join FC for a focused session on how organizations should handle Title VI discrimination complaints when they arise. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs that receive federal funding, and knowing how to respond properly when a complaint is filed can make a significant difference in the outcome for everyone involved.

​This session will walk through the practical steps of receiving, documenting, and investigating a Title VI complaint, along with the timelines and procedural requirements that agencies and organizations need to follow. We'll also cover common pitfalls that can turn a manageable situation into a larger compliance issue, and how to communicate clearly with complainants throughout the process.

​Whether you handle civil rights compliance as part of your role or are simply looking to understand the process better, this hour will give you a clear framework to work from. The session will be held over Zoom, with time set aside for questions at the end.
