(except as prescribed by statute or policy consistent with statute) under any program or

by the Air Force.

1.2. The Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VI, provides that no person in the United States

AFI36-2707 16 DECEMBER 2010 3

1.6. Whenever unlawful discrimination practices are found, the Air Force will immediately

take action to address the inequities and ensure channels are available to air complaints

without fear of reprisal.

1.7. This instruction establishes, and outlines guidance prohibiting discrimination based on

race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information in the

Department of the Air Force. It applies to programs either receiving Federal financial

assistance disbursed by the Air Force, or programs conducted by the Air Force. These

programs apply to all Air Force activities including the U.S. Air Force Reserve and National

Guard units and members.

complainants shall not be disclosed except when necessary to carry out the purpose of
