When Congress passed the ADA, it did not specify that people could 
collect punitive damages for violations (Bush insisted upon a watered 
down version in order to sign it) but since the ADA was fashioned 
like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, there was an assumption of the 
availability of punitive damages under Title VI.

Thanks,
