In many educational institutions, students of color are disciplined more harshly and more frequently than other students, resulting in serious, negative educational consequences, particularly when such students are excluded from school. Common examples of these disciplinary infractions include, but are not limited to, dress code violations, truancy, defiance, disruption, fighting, profanity, etc. The student discipline policies, procedures, and practices of schools that receive federal financial assistance from the Department of Education must comply with the non-discrimination requirements of Title VI.
OCR has continued its vigorous enforcement activities to ensure that students are not disciplined more frequently or more severely because of their race, color, or national origin.
