It is the policy of the United States that guidelines and
criteria established pursuant to title VI of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964 [42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.] and section 182 of the Elementary
and Secondary Education Amendments of 1966 [42 U.S.C. 2000d-5]
dealing with conditions of segregation by race, whether de jure or
de facto, in the schools of the local educational agencies of any
State shall be applied uniformly in all regions of the United
States whatever the origin or cause of such segregation.
(b) Nature of uniformity
Such uniformity refers to one policy applied uniformly to de jure
segregation wherever found and such other policy as may be provided
pursuant to law applied uniformly to de facto segregation wherever
found.
(c) Prohibition of construction for diminution of obligation for
enforcement or compliance with nondiscrimination requirements
Nothing in this section shall be construed to diminish the
obligation of responsible officials to enforce or comply with such

federally assisted programs and activities as required by title VI
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 [42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.].
