  • What programs are covered by Title VI?
  • What discrimination is prohibited by Title VI?
  • How can I file a discrimination complaint?
  • What will the Federal agency do with my complaint?
  • What is the Department of Justice's role?
  • What if the recipient retaliates against me for asserting my rights or filing a complaint?

For related information, see Civil Rights and Outreach Coordination and Compliance Program.
