The 1979 Guidelines for Eliminating Discrimination and Denial of Services on the Basis of Race, Color, National Origin, Sex and Handicap in Vocational Education Programs were issued under court order after the Department of Health, Education and Welfare was sued in 1973 for failing to enforce Title VI and applied to recipients of federal financial assistance offering career and technical education. The letter requests written answers by Monday, October 5.
