Definition

  • In the historic Supreme Court case of Lau v. Nichols, decided in 1974, a group of non-English-speaking students and parents of Chinese ancestry filed a class action suit against the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD), claiming that they had been denied a meaningful opportunity to participate in the public educational program in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Fourteenth Amendment. Title VI banned discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in any program receiving federal financial assistance.
