Question presented
- Statute of Limitation of Title VI 11th Circuit Appeal Court dismissed Plaintiffs discrimination claims against Gwinnett Technical College et al., invoked under Title VI, by relying on their ‘Rozar v. Mullis”, 85 F.3d 556 (11th Cir. 1996), which decided that the statute of limitation for Title VI is the statute of limitation for “personal injury”: in GA it is two years. Despite 11th Circuit, Supreme Court in all their reviews of Title VI and other “Spending Clause Statutes” cases such as Title IX, etc., has regularly characterized Title VI as “Contract” and its remedy as “Remedy for Breach of Contract”. Furthermore, U.S. Supreme Court’s guidelines for determining the statute of limitation of §1983 claims in Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261 (1985), were not followed in deciding “personal injury” as statute of limitation of Title VI. 11th Circuit in their opinion (App.ll) said that Rozar will remain good law, and that they need an intervening Supreme Court decision that is clearly on point or directly in conflict with Rozar such that they may decline to apply that case. Now, it is time that this important question was presented and answered by this Court: Does U.S. Supreme Court characterize Title VI and all other Spending Clause Statutes as “Contract” or "Personal Injury”? And whether the statute of limitation of Title VI and all other Spending
