Does Title VI cover employment discrimination?
Generally, Title VI does not cover employment discrimination. But if the primary objective of the Federal financial assistance to a recipient is promoting employment, then the recipient’s employment practices are subject to Title VI. And, where employment discrimination by a recipient has a secondary effect on the ability of beneficiaries to meaningfully participate in/or receive the benefits of a federally assisted program in a nondiscriminatory manner, those employment practices are subject to Title VI.
