Title VI

The East Central Intergovernmental Association (ECIA) hereby gives public notice that it is the policy of ECIA to assure full compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, related statutes and regulation providing that no person shall on the ground of race, color, national origin, gender, age or disability be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.

The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 amended Title VI to specify that entire institutions receiving federal funds, whether schools, colleges, government entities, or private employers, must comply with Federal civil rights laws, rather than just the particular programs or activities that receive federal funds. To receive more information on the RTA’s obligations regarding Title VI, please contact the ECIA Director of Human Resources and Program Development at 563-556-4166.
