If a Title VI violation is found to have occurred, the college could possibly lose federal funding or the case could be turned over to the Department of Justice.
The Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights opened an investigation into Williams College after receiving a complaint alleging the student government discriminated against pro-Israel students.
Title VI prohibits higher education institutions receiving federal funds from discriminating against people based on race, color or national origin. While Williams College disagreed with the College Council's decision, David Bernstein, a law professor at George Mason University, wrote in his complaint that since the student government is an"official arm of the college," their actions are covered by title VI.
OCR describes itself as a"neutral fact-finder" on its official website, and during the investigation, it will collect and analyze relevant evidence. If OCR finds the organization failed to comply with the law, the first step is to negotiate a voluntary resolution agreement, which outlines specific remedial actions.
