Despite evidence that desegregation plans have failed at colleges and universities in 10 states, federal officials are refusing to impose sanctions on states that violate civil rights laws, a House report said. The report said internal notes from the Education Department’s Office of Civil Rights “describe failures of the states to eliminate the vestiges of illegal discrimination.
