Gpo Helps U.S. Commission On Civil Rights To Stop Hate On College Campuses

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (USCCR) turned to the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) for assistance in designing a poster and a postcard for a campaign to end anti-Semitism on college campuses. USCCR’s 2006 report, Campus Anti-Semitism, reported an increase in anti-Semitic vandalism, physical intimidation and racial slurs on college campuses across the country. To help turn the tide against these hateful acts, USCCR is launching a public education campaign to end campus anti-Semitism. The core of the Commission’s campaign is a Web site. This vehicle will educate students and others about the nature of anti-Semitism, urge victims to report incidents to authorities and identify sources of help. GPO employees designed a poster and a postcard, ensured print quality, and contributed to the campaign Web site. The poster and postcard will be distributed to students and administrators across the country.

The Commission will roll out its campaign on April 11, 2007 at 1:00 pm and will launch the campaign Web site http://www.usccr.gov/campusanti-semitism.html at its monthly meeting on April 13, 2007. The media is invited to attend both events which will take place at: USCCR Headquarters: 624 Ninth Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20425

“That these incidents are even happening on our nation’s campuses is a huge step back in the fight against hate,” said Kenneth L. Marcus, Staff Director, of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. “We are pleased with the help of the U.S. Government Printing Office in creating the tools to assist us to educate students about their rights and protections against anti-Semitic behavior.” Read more at gpo.gov.

Discrimination

Definition:
Discrimination is defined in civil rights law as unfavorable or unfair treatment of a person or class of persons in comparison with others who are not members of the protected class because of race, sex, color, religion, national origin, age, physical/mental disability, or reprisal for opposition to discriminatory practices or participation in the EEO process.

Affirmative Action Plans/Affirmative Employment Plan

Definition:
Written plans for programs required by Executive Order 11478 and other laws and regulations. AAP's may contain studies, which show how the work force at the activity has been used, and may include goals and timetables for increasing the representation of women, minorities, and persons with disabilities in those areas where they have been underrepresented.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Definition:
Title VII prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin. The Civil Rights Act of 1991 (Pub. L. 102-166) (CRA) amends several sections of Title VII. These amendments appear in boldface type. In addition, section 102 of the CRA (which is printed elsewhere in this publication) amends the Revised Statutes by adding a new section following section 1977 (42 U.S.C. 1981), to provide for the recovery of compensatory and punitive damages in cases of intentional violations of Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Cross references to Title VII as enacted appear in italics following each section heading.
