Re: Your dream research on educational equity...

What I would really like to see is a thorough breakdown of Office for
Civil Rights cases under Title IX since 1972, showing where they
originated, the demographics of the region of origin, OCR region, type
of charge/violation in each, related criminal reports and proceedings,
related civil suits, frequency of types of reports, nature of rejected
investigations, reasons for accepting and rejecting each report,
outcomes of investigation, outcomes of compliance recommendations,
monitoring and follow-up outcomes at 1, 2, 5, 10 years, overtures to
bring cases to the DOJ, tracking of non-report activity by the OCR,
compliance reviews (causes and outcomes), correspondence with the public
on preventive measures, analysis of methods and guidelines issued,
relationship of OCR to legislation and case law, --the whole nine yards.
I understand the entire back docket of the OCR is due to be dumped onto
the Web, "redacted" for confidentiality, and made available for research
under EFOIA rules--electronic Freedom of Information Act requests. This
certainly is a research dream about to come true--and crucially needed,
as Gebser v. Lago Vista shows.
