 \n# ED CONTINUES TO FIGHT TIME REGULATIONS FOR CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS\n\nThe Education Department wants to be rid of strict time frames for its invest1-gation of civil rights charges against schools and colleges,despite criticismthat it is slow and ineffective in processing such claims.  \nHarry Singleton,ED assistant secretary for civil rights,told the House In-tergovernmental Relations and Human Resources Subcommittee yesterday that cur-rent time frames are \"unrealistic\"and an\"unnecessary interference.\"The pur-pose of the hearing was to review ED investigation and enforcement of civilrights violations.  \nThe time frames,which require ED's Office for Civil Rights(OCR)to invest1-gate each complaint it receives,wrongly direct\"resources toward investigationof individual complaints,often at the expense of planning and conducting moreefficient large-scale compliance reviews,\"said Singleton.  \nThe time frames were established in 1977 by a federal district judge in Adamsv.Bel1,to cover ED and Labor Department investigations of civil rights anddiscrimination claims.  \nED enforces laws that bar bias on the basis of race,sex,national origin andhandicap,while Labor enforces an executive order that requires most federalcontractors to implement affirmative action employment plans.  \nUnder the time frames,ED and Labor must complete their investigations 90 daysafter receiving a complaint,finish settlement negotiations with the school orcollege within another 90 days and take enforcement action,if necessary,with-in the next 30 days.  \nStill A Bottom Line Although the agencies may exempt up to 20 percent of345 days of receiving the complaint(HED,March 14,1983)。  \nBut Julius Chambers,director and counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense and Edu-cational Fund,told the House panel that OCR is \"not conducting compliancereviews within time frames specified by the Adams order.\"  \nDespite limitations imposed by the time frames,Singleton said that OCR has inthe past few years\"improved its performance dramatically\"in getting schoolsto comply with civil rights laws following investigations.  \nFor example,at the end of fiscal year 1984,OCR virtually eliminated its back-log of cases,Singleton said.As of June 30 of this year,OCR had received  \n1,594 complaints and resolved almost an equal number,1,570,he said.  \n(more)  \n      July 19,1985  \n# ED CONTINUES TO FIGHT TIME REGULATIONS FOR CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS(Cont.)\n\nBut,said Marcia Greenberger,managing attorney for the National Women's LawCenter,OCR has intentionally\"taken a series of steps to ensure aggressiveenforcement is not taking place.\"  \nAccording to a recent analysis by the NAACP Legal Defense Fund of OCR's compli-ance with time frames,large disparities were found among regional OCR officesin issuing letters of investigation findings.  \nIn fiscal 1983,Region III,which is headquartered in Philadelphia,met only11 percent of its 36 deadlines,the analysis showed,while while Region IX,based in San Francisco,met 85 percent of its 46 deadlines.  \nThe NAACP also found that nationwide for all complaints,OCR failed to issueletters of finding on time in 25 percent of its cases in fiscal year 1983 and18 percent in fiscal 1984.Letters of finding issued in the'exceptionalcategory,'in which OCR has an additional 120 days,were late 33 percent of thetime in 1983 and 11 percent of the time in 1984.--Jennifer L.Janson  \nED OFFICIAL ACCUSED OF NOT COMPLYING WITH CONGRESSIONAL REQUEST  \nIn a heated exchange in a House committee room yesterday,Rep.Ted Weiss,D-N.Y.,accused the Education Department's top civil rights official of inten-tionally falling to comply with a congressional request.  \nWeiss,who chairs the House Intergovernmental Relations and Human ResourcesSubcommittee,asked Harry Singleton,ED assistant secretary for civil rights,why the department had not complied with a subcommittee request,made in August1984 and repeated in June,to supply the committee with files of 23 casesbrought before ED from 198","cbCaibGQ8VL1Hoic","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibGQ8VL1Hoic","pdf",1251183,"English","# ED
