Mr Balmer:
This letter is in response to the concerns you raised regarding the complaint you filed against the Hawaii State Public Library System (HSPLS), which was received by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) on January 23, 2007. On February 13, 2007, we notified you by letter that we were administratively closing your complaint because HSPLS is not a recipient of federal funding from the U.S. Department of Education. You have expressed concerns regarding our handling of your complaint. Therefore, we are contacting you to further explain our decision regarding your complaint.
According to your complaint, HSPLS was discriminating against you on the basis of your race, color, and national origin. OCR's legal authority to investigate complaints alleging discrimination based on race, color, and national origin is derived from the regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Under Title VI, however, our jurisdictional authority to investigate complaints is limited to programs and activities that receive funding from the U.S. Department of Education. As we informed you in our February 13 letter, HSPLS is not a recipient of federal funding from the Department. Therefore, OCR does not have the authority to take any action with respect to your complaint or any complaint alleging race discrimination against HSPLS.
We regret that we are unable to assist you in resolving your concerns. If you have any questions about this letter, please contact me at (206) 220-7911 or by e-mail at gregg.hamby@ed.gov.
