Are civil rights complaints confidential?

In Office for Civil Rights (OCR) investigations, the name of the complainant usually is kept confidential unless its disclosure is necessary to the case.

What happens when you file an OCR complaint?

OCR evaluates the written information that it receives to determine whether it constitutes a complaint that is subject to further processing. If so, OCR determines whether it can investigate the complaint. OCR makes this determination with respect to each allegation in the complaint.
