Title VI Policy
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs and activities of any entity receiving federal financial assistance. Other related regulations prohibit discrimination based on sex, age, and disability.
Discrimination is any action or inaction, intentional or unintentional, through which a beneficiary, solely because of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability, is subjected to unequal treatment or disparate impacts.
For more information regarding our roles, responsibilities, and procedures to ensure compliance with Title VI, please review our FY2027–2028 Title VI Program.
Title VI Complaints
Any person who believes that he or she, individually or as a member of a specific class, has been subjected to discrimination may file a complaint. A complaint may also be filed by a representative on behalf of such person or group.
Title VI complaints must be filed within 180 days of the date of the alleged discriminatory act. Complaints must include the facts and circumstances surrounding the alleged discrimination.
