Title VI
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 United States Code § 2000d) and Tennessee Code Annotated § 421-904 states, “Any entity receiving Federal financial assistance may not discriminate against their program beneficiaries or participants based on their color, national origin or race.” Facilities, programs and services sponsored by the University of Memphis are available to all eligible persons regardless of race, color, national origin, age, sex or disability.
Title VI and Executive Order 13166 additionally require the University to take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to its programs, services and activities for persons with limited English proficiency (LEP). For additional information about the University’s LEP services, contact the Office for Institutional Equity.
If you think you have been discriminated against based on race, color or national origin in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, you can file a complaint with the University of Memphis Title VI Coordinator.
