Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: A Review of Program Operations. Executive Summary.
Crocker, Stephen; And Others
This report highlights the major findings and recommendations of four Title IV-funded agencies which provide racial desegregation services; the General Assistance Centers, the State Educational Agencies, the Training Agencies, the Training Institutes, and the Local Education Agencies. The study is based on a statistical analysis of responses to mail questionnaires from 140 Title IV projects, from site visits to school districts served, and from interview data. The first three agencies cited are compared to each other, while the last is treated separately. Two key variables that affect service delivery from the regional offices and projects are explained. These are: commitment (amenability to desegregation), the relationship to the institution at which the project is located, and, for GAC's, organizational characteristics. The final section analyzes the context in which the programs as a whole operate, and suggests some ways in which Title IV can be strengthened. (Author/AM)
