<p><b>TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WILL KEEP UP CIVIL RIGHTS DATA COLLECTION:</b> The Education Department has made clear that the Office for Civil Rights plans to keep polling the nation's schools on a slew of issues, including discipline, bullying and access to courses
and resources — assuaging fears of civil rights groups that the Trump administration may roll back what they see as crucial data collection efforts. The administration
<a href="http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8fcf4da0c5bff88247776d86c7670f12a310f3f084c549e0e0341cc9e7a442b3ac9ea2b5971cbbe2edea49af4863fce7" target="_blank">
recently responded to a wave of public comments </a>it received about the next round of data collection — an effort that had been greatly expanded under the Obama administration — and the responses make clear that the administration plans to change little about
the process, and that it still plans to publish the results. "It's a big sigh of relief for the field," Deborah Temkin, director of education research at Child Trends, told Morning Education.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>— <b>The Civil Rights Data Collection is "a longstanding and necessary" part of the department's efforts to ensure that recipients of federal financial assistance do not discriminate</b> "on the bases of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, and
age," the administration wrote. The administration said it "has given significant consideration" to all of the data points the department will collect and decided that "each is necessary to ensure compliance with the civil rights laws and that, individually
and in total, the burden is justified by the need for the data."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>— <b>The department's call for public comments on the collection efforts drew 1,423 responses</b>
<b>— about 95 times more comments than one preceding the last civil rights data survey</b>, the administration wrote. "I do think there was a real fear that they would stop collecting the data, as well as a fear that they would stop posting the data publicly,"
Temkin said. "I think that was clearly reflected in the comments they received."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>— <b>Among the biggest questions for some civil rights advocates was whether the administration would continue to collect data on harassment and bullying on the basis of sexual orientation and religion</b>. The administration wrote that it "remains interested
in measuring school climate by collecting information on harassment or bullying, including information on reports of harassment or bullying based on a student's actual or perceived sexual orientation and religion."
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>— <b>But the administration wrote that it won't expand its collection to note gender identity</b>. "Under Title IX, schools already must respond to harassment on the basis of a student's failure to conform to stereotyped notions of masculinity and femininity
as a form of sex discrimination," the administration wrote. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>— <b>"There's still a lot of progress to be made to refine and make this data collection as completely useful as it can be,"</b> said Eliza Byard, the executive director of the LGBT education advocacy group GLSEN. But, Byard said, "It was a tremendous, tremendous
relief to know that this data collection will continue."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>— <b>The Trump administration said it may even expand the data collection efforts</b>, writing that it will "explore methods to expand the CRDC universe, to include the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, dependent on funding."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>— <b>Of course, this is all pending approval from the Office of Management and Budget, and therefore subject to change</b>. "OMB still needs to give its final stamp of approval for this, but all signs seem like they're moving in that direction," Temkin said.
