Promises to Keep : A Decade of Federal Enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act

Looks at the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) enforcement activities from 1990 to 1999 of 4 key Fed. agencies: the Justice Dept., the EEOC, the Transportation Dept., & the FCC. Reveals that while the Administration has consistently asserted its strong support for the civil rights of people with disabilities, the Fed. agencies charged with enforcement & policy development under ADA have, to varying degrees, been underfunded, overly cautious, reactive, & lacking any coherent & unifying national strategy. In addition, enforce. agencies have not taken leadership roles in clarifying frontierÓ or emergent issues. Provides a blueprint for addressing these shortcomings.Bristo, Marco is the author of 'Promises to Keep : A Decade of Federal Enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act', published 2001 under ISBN 9780756707460 and ISBN 0756707463.
