TITLE: Civil Rights Compliance in Vocational Education.
1988 89 Annual Report.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1989
NOTE: 18 p.
ABSTRACT: This document summarizes the ninth annual report
of civil rights compliance activities in Michigan carried
out by the Vocational-Technical Education Service (VTES),
under the Michigan State Board of Education, during fiscal
year 1988-89. These activities were conducted to comply
with the mandates of the Vocational Education Programs
Guidelines for Eliminating Discrimination and Denial of
Services on the Basis of Race, Color, National Origin, Sex,
and Handicap. The staffs of the VTES, the Community College
Services Unit Higher Education Management Services, and an
educational firm from Detroit were responsible for
conducting the compliance program. A state-level policy and
program review determined that all policies were in
compliance with the guidelines. No amendments or
rescissions of policies were needed. A combined desk
audit/onsite review of the State Technical Institute and
Rehabilitation Center was conducted. Agency desk audits of
20 percent of the state's total number of subrecipients
that offered vocational education (n=424) were completed.
Benchmarks were established to compare data pertaining to
special populations or protected groups. Secondary and
postsecondary data were analyzed. No clear and present
violations were found. Twenty-five percent of the desk
audits (n=28) were selected for on-site reviews. On
site reports were prepared summarizing the findings and
recommendations for compliance, including compliance plan
development. Inservice training and technical assistance
were provided. Results of monitoring included tentative and
final approval of compliance plans and closure of other
plans. (YLB)
