categories
A:
To prohibit discrimination in federally conducted education and training programs based
on the basis of race, sex, color, national origin, disability religion, age, sexual

educational opportunities that it applies to the education programs and activities of state
and local governments, and to private institutions receiving federal financial assistance.
Q:

education and training programs.
Q:

covered by regulations that bar specified forms of discrimination. These regulations will
continue to be enforced by the Department of Defense and the individual service
branches.
Q:
What are some examples of "federally conducted education and training
programs"?

internships, training for industry members, summer enrichment camps, and programs to

meetings, conferences, industry meetings, workshops, presentations, lectures will now be
covered. One example is the training workshops conducted by the U.S. Department of

alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. Another example is the training centers and academies
