While we recognize the progress brought about by enforcement of the civil rights laws, problems persist in the denial of full educational opportunities to persons with disabilities, racial and language minorities, females, and older Americans. A commitment to the goals of the civil rights compliance program — equal access, educational excellence, and high standards for all students — is an investment that we must make if we are to secure America’s future.
