Which Civil Rights Act title prohibits discrimination in programs receiving federal funds?

• A. Title IX
• B. Title II
• C. Title VII
• D. Title VI

Answer: (D)

Discrimination in programs that receive federal funds is prohibited by a provision in the Civil Rights Act that applies specifically to recipients of federal financial assistance. This rule ensures that schools, colleges, hospitals, and other entities that receive federal money cannot treat people differently on the basis of race, color, or national origin when offering those programs or services. That focus on entities that receive federal funds is what defines this title.

So, the title that prohibits discrimination in programs receiving federal funds is the one that directly targets recipients of federal assistance. The other titles cover different areas: one addresses sex discrimination in education programs receiving federal funds, another bans discrimination by places of public accommodation, and a third prohibits employment discrimination in many workplaces. Thus, the title that aligns with programs receiving federal funds is the one in question.
