The Office of Educational Improvement and Innovation (EII) actively supports the mission of the Office for Civil Rights: "to ensure equal access to a high quality education for all students through the vigorous enforcement of civil rights". A primary responsibility by EII is the review of career and technical education programs for compliance with federal nondiscrimination regulations.

Each year approximately three (3) high schools and two (2)community colleges, with at least one career and technical program each, are targeted for an onsite review. The comprehensive EII review permits the office to prevent discrimination and ensure equal access to programs, courses and the information therein, for each Oregon student. EII also provides technical assistance to help institutions achieve voluntary compliance with the civil rights laws that the Office for Civil Rights enforces.
