Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse
Greetings -- A six-month study by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) has found serious flaws in how the Civil Rights Division tracks the enforcement of federal civil rights laws and the extent of U.S. civil rights problems. The study was undertaken by TRAC after officials in the Justice Department claimed the decline in civil rights enforcement documented by information from the federal courts and the Executive Office of United States Attorneys was not correct.
TRAC's analysis of the Civil Rights Division's troubled record keeping was provided to Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and other interested parties. The initial TRAC report documenting a substantial decline in civil rights enforcement during the Bush administration was published on November 21. Go to http://trac.syr.edu/tracreports/civright/115/ to see the study, and http://trac.syr.edu/tracreports/civright/106/ to see original report.
