If the OCR Negotiates with the Funded Agency to Settle My Discrimination Claim, Do I Have Final Say on Whether the Terms are Acceptable?
No. If, after an investigation, the OCR finds that your discrimination complaint has merit, federal regulations require the OCR to try to work with the funded agency that was discriminating to bring it into compliance with the applicable federal civil rights laws. Compliance negotiations may result in a formal resolution agreement, which states the remedial actions the funded agency agrees to take. A complainant has the right to review and comment on the terms of a resolution agreement prior to it becoming final. However, the OCR alone decides the terms of a resolution agreement are acceptable.
