Today, the ACR Project alerted the House and Senate to the clear unconstitutionality of programs they should defund and repeal. ACR Project Chairman Gail Heriot, E.D. Dan Morenoff, and Director Peter Kirsanow signed the letters, which you can read, below.

On February 18th, two U.S. Civil Rights Commissioners (and ACR Project Directors) proposed an improvement to the Higher Education Act.

The ACR Project, FASORP, WILL, and CEO file wide-sweeping Title VII Charge Against the ABA. The ACR Project and WILL anticipate that the EEOC will take corrective action.
