In this notice, the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) supersedes all redelegations of authority under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 made within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for FHEO and retains and redelegates this authority to act as the ``responsible Department official,'' with noted exceptions, to the General Deputy Assistant Secretary, who in turn, retains and redelegates this authority, with noted exceptions to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Programs, Director of the Office of Enforcement, Director of Systemic Investigations and the FHEO Region Directors.
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides a useful basis for litigation over environmental racism. The main advantages of Title VI include its focus on disparate impact and the opportunity for equitable remedies. The focus on disparate impact means that intentional discrimination does not need to be shown. Use of Title VI would also provide a link between environmental and civil rights issues. Advocates of environmental justice should use Title VI in both the legal and political arenas, seeking favorable administrative interpretation and enforcement as well as judicial remedies.
The year 2004 marked milestone anniversaries of two entwined building blocks of civil rights in the US: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Brown v Board of Education. Here, Ishimaru expounds the many areas by which to fulfill the promise of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and on how to fulfil it. He cites the need to use Title VII to attack new areas of discrimination, such as sex discrimination against women with family responsibilities, discrimination faced by contingent workers, and same-sex discrimination.
The Washington County Superior Court has ordered four men and a juvenile to stay away from five Passamaquoddy youths from Indian Township and to refrain from violating the Maine Civil Rights Act, Attorney General Steven Rowe announced Thursday in a press release. The court order stems from an incident in the Washington County town of Baileyville that happened last year.
The Miranda doctrine has been effectively deconstitutionalized by the many exceptions that have been created, but it should instead be firmly established as constitutional common law. Current developments in interpretation of the Fifth Amendment tend to encourage Miranda violations by law enforcement officers and make it difficult to bring state action suits under section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act of 1871 for violations of either Miranda or the Fifth Amendment. Abandonment of the Miranda doctrine would seriously endanger civil liberties and therefore the doctrine should be upheld and strengthened.
