The U.S. Department of Education (ED) has launched EndDEI.Gov, a public portal to submit reports of discrimination based on race or sex in publicly funded K -12 schools. Citing federal statutes including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, Title IX, Section 504, and other laws, ED notes that the portal provides an “outlet”  to report “illegal discriminatory practices” at institutions of learning and that information shared [via the portal] will be used to identify potential areas for investigation. ED also released an FAQ in connection with a February 14 Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) to educational institutions receiving federal funds that notified them that they must cease using race preferences and stereotypes as a factor in their admissions, hiring, promotion, scholarships, and more. As noted in COPAA news last week, several prominent attorneys wrote a detailed letter disputing the legality of the DCL.
