Generally violation of civil rights in the state of Alaska is dealt with in various provisions of the Alaska Statutes.  Discrimination based on sex or race in public education and general discriminatory practices are prohibited under Title 18, Chapter 80, Article 4, Section 18.80.220 et seq and Title 14, Chapter 18, Section 14.18.010 et seq of Alaska Statutes respectively.  The Alaska State Commission for Human Rights is the agency dealing with prohibition against discriminatory practices.  The Board of Regents in the state of Alaska is the agency dealing with prohibition against discrimination based on sex or race in public education.  Federal preemption does not deprive the Alaska courts of jurisdiction to hear cases of alleged employment discrimination.  Section 8.80.250 of Chapter 80, creates a private right of action to redress racial discrimination.

Any person who willfully engages in an unlawful discriminatory practice prohibited by this chapter (State Commission for Human Rights) is guilty to pay reasonable attorney fees upon the discretion of the court of competent jurisdiction.
