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.
