IOWA CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION
The Iowa Civil Rights Commission (ICRC) is an administrative agency responsible
for enforcing the "Iowa Civil Rights Act of 1965," Iowa's anti-discrimination
law.
The Mission of the ICRC is to eliminate discrimination in Iowa.
Currently, the ICRC fights discrimination five ways:
- Investigating and resolving complaints alleging discrimination,
- Conducting a multifaceted public education program (workshops, conferences,
publications, video for loan library, web site, etc.),
- Testing persons and organizations covered by the law to determine the
nature and extent of discrimination in Iowa,
- Helping communities build diversity appreciation teams to identify
and resolve discrimination and diversity issues locally, and
- Promoting the use of study circles (small discussion groups) on racism
and race relations.
