Many Federal resources are devoted to seeing if Federal agencies have jurisdiction under Title VI, Title IX, Section 504, and the Age Discrimination Act.  A whole Section of the Civil Rights Division is devoted to doing a report card for the Attorney General to provide to the President on how well agencies are enforcing Title VI, Title IX, Section 504, and various grant related nondiscrimination statutes.  Wouldn't much bureaucratic red tape be cut and much money now used just for reporting be saved, if we created an Equal Services Opportunity Commission (ESOC).

This Commission would receive, investigate, conciliate, and when necessary adjudicate complaints that beneficiaries of Federal financial assistance discriminated in the delivery of services.

More information and model legislation coming soon.
