EDUCATION  \nDAILY  \nThe Independent dalily news service foradministrators in postsecondaryeducation.  \nVo1。13,No。176  \nTuesday,September 10,1985  \n# CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE MAY SUBPOENA DOCUMENTS FROM OCR AND JUSTICE\n\nA congressional subcommittee will subpoena documents in 15 to 20 civil rightscomplaints filed with the Education Department since 1981 if neither ED nor theJustice Department surrenders them by Wednesday,says a subcommittee staffer.  \nED's Office for Civil Rights says it has made available to the House Intergov-ernmental Relations and Human Resources Subcommittee all cases alleging civi1rights violations by local school districts and higher education systems filedduring the Reagan administration,\"except those referred to the Justice Depart-ment for administrative enforcement,\"according to OCR public affairs liaisonThomasina Rogers.  \nBut it is the files referred to Justice that the subcommittee wants to review.Despite numerous requests made by the subcommittee for case summaries,Justicehas not complied,saying the cases are in litigation and release of informationabout them would be inappropriate。  \nEnough Time\"If they don't turn them over,the subcommittee is consid-ering subpoenaing,\"said a subcommittee staffer who asked not to be named.\"They've had more than enough time。\"  \nThe subcommittee wants to ascertain whether those claims have been investigatedproperly,the staffer said.  \nBut OCR will not release any requested documents to the subcommittee untilHarry Singleton,ED's assistant secretary for civil rights,and subcommitteeChairman Ted Weiss,D-N.Y.,talk privately,Rogers said.  \nNo MeetingRogers said that Singleton and Weiss have each voiced interestin such a meeting,but that no date has been scheduled.The subcommittee willquestion Singleton at a hearing Sept.11.  \nEarlier this year,Singleton told the subcommittee that OCR had not compliedwith congressional requests in June and August 1984 to supply the documentsbecause the cases were remanded to Justice for investigation and were no longerunder OCR jurisdiction.He said OCR kept no file copies of those cases(HED,July 19).  \nBut after the hearing,Singleton sent a letter to Weiss,saying his testimonywas unintentionally inaccurate。  \n\"Following my testimony,I again met with OCR staff to get to the bottom ofthe issue,\"the July 18 letter read.\"My staff now informs me that they werewrong,and the advice given me was incorrect.\"(more)  \nSingleton's letter said that OCR's Washington,D.C.,office did retain somedocuments for the cases in question,while OCR's regional offices had copies ofothers.\"We are requesting our regional offices to forward all investigativerecords for these cases as soon as possible,\"the letter read.  \n\"However,in one of the cases identified thus far,staff has determined thatall OCR files were transferred to DOJ,\"the letter said.\"The records anddocuments located in Washington are available for the immediate review of yourstaff.\"  \nThose cases the subcommittee wishes to review involve separate complaints madein Alabama,Ohio,Illinois,Washington and New York of alleged violations ofthe Civil Rights Act of 1964,which prohibits discrimination on the basis ofrace,color or national origin in federally assisted programs;Title IX of theEducation Amendments of 1972,which bars discrimination against women in educa-tional programs receiving federal funds;and Section 504 of the RehabilitationAct of 1973,which prohibits recipients of federal aid from discriminating a-gainst disabled persons.--Jennifer L.Janson  \n=Resources  \n■ The NASCO Guide to Cooperative Careers provides an up-to-date review ofcareer opportunities available in co-ops.
