What are the appeal rights with OCR?
OCR is committed to a high quality resolution of every case. If a complainant has questions or concerns about an OCR determination, he or she may contact the OCR staff person whose name appears in the complaint resolution letter. The complainant should address his or her concerns with as much specificity as possible, focusing on factual or legal questions that would change the resolution of the case. Should a complainant continue to have questions or concerns, he or she is advised to send a request for reconsideration to the Director of the responsible OCR field office. The Director will review the appropriateness of the complaint resolution. If the complainant remains dissatisfied, he or she may submit an appeal in writing to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement. The decision of the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement constitutes OCR’s final decision.
