Amicus Brief in Support of Preliminary Injuction to Restore OCR
In National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, et al. v. U.S.A., the OCR Alumni Collective led a group of 75 former career OCR staff spanning 11 presidential administrations in filing an amicus brief in support of a preliminary injunction attempting to end the dismantling of OCR. The amicus brief describes: the history of the critical statutes that OCR enforces, including Title VI, Title IX, and Section 504; the operationalization of the statutorily mandated role of OCR staff to enforce the civil rights of our nation’s students; and how the dismantling of OCR violates these mandates which, in turn, harms students and denies them equal opportunity in their education.
