Office for Civil Rights Expansion

The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) Expansion refers to increasing the agency's capacity to enforce laws that protect individuals from discrimination in areas like education, healthcare, and employment. This expansion may involve additional staff, resources, and authority to investigate complaints, ensure compliance, and promote equitable treatment. The goal is to strengthen OCR’s ability to uphold civil rights laws, address systemic issues, and ensure everyone has fair access and protections under federal regulations.
