Title VI and Civil Rights Investigation Foundations Level One is the initial two-day course in ATIXA’s Investigator curriculum for Investigators, Title VI Coordinators looking to acquire the fundamental skills necessary to conduct civil rights investigations. Expert faculty members will guide participants through an in-depth exploration of the types of discrimination they may investigate, each phase of an investigation process as prescribed by ATIXA’s “Process B”, including critical topics for each phase and implications for those investigating or overseeing a civil rights compliant.

By the end of the course, participants will be proficient in all stages of the civil rights investigation process, ready to uphold federal compliance, protect individuals’ rights, and contribute to thorough and fair investigation.
