- Summary:
-
In October 1970, the Commission on Civil Rights published a large-scale study of "The Federal Civil Rights Enforcement Effort." Based on an evaluation of more than 40 departments and agencies with significant civil rights responsibilities, the Commission found that enforcement was characterized largely by inaction, lack of coordination, and indifference. In May 1970, the Commission issued a follow-up report to determine what progress, if any, had been made in the seven months since its October 1970 study. The basic conclusion was that some advances had been made, in terms of tentative first steps, combined with promises to do better in the future. The Federal civil rights enforcement effort is held difficult to evaluate as of November 1971. When compared to the situation that existed a year ago, the structure of the Government's effort has been improved in a number of important respects. But judged by the more objective standard of civil rights performance, the Federal Government continues to get low marks. Wide disparities exist in the performance of the many departments and agencies with civil rights responsibilities. Some are taking actions necessary to perform effectively. Others still barely recognize that they have any responsibility at all (Author/JM)
