Title IV and School Desegregation: A Study of a Neglected Federal Program.
Sloane, Martin E., Ed.
In general, civil rights staff in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare have agreed that Title IV, 1964 Civil Rights Act grants should support Title VI enforcement efforts by providing a carrot of Title IV money to complement the stick of Title VI enforcement. How best to utilize Title IV grants for this purpose, however, has been the subject of continuing disagreement. From the beginning of the program, some officials have argued that local Title IV programs should focus on educational problems which may become visible in the process of desegregation. Other staff members have contended that the emphasis should be on desegregation per se and that local programs funded under Title IV should help build understanding across lines and improve interpersonal relations. In its examination of Title IV, the Commission has concentrated its investigation on the Southern and border States where the bulk of Title IV funds have gone. The Commission also has investigated the operation of the program in New Mexico, where some program innovations have been undertaken which seemed to merit special consideration. In examining the role of Title IV as a facilitator of the desegregation process, the Commission has looked at programs developed by individual school districts, training institutes, and desegregation centers established in colleges and universities, and at Title IV units in State departments of education.
