Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether the compensatory damages available under Title VI and the statutes that incorporate its remedies include compensation for emotional distress
Question Presented (OCR Extract)
QUESTION PRESENTED Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits recipients of federal funds from discriminating based on race. Congress has expressly incorporated Title VI’s remedies for victims of discrimination into other antidiscrimination laws, including the Rehabilitation Act, 29 U.S.C. § 794a(a)(2), and the Affordable Care Act, 42 U.S.C. § 18116(a). Those remedies include a right to recover “compensatory damages.” Barnes v. Gorman, 536 U.S. 181, 187 (2002). The question presented is: Whether the compensatory damages available under Title VI and the statutes that incorporate its remedies include compensation for emotional distress.
