Education Dept Drops Disparate Impact Rule | Orlando News
Description
The Department of Education is rolling back “disparate impact” rules—policies that once held schools accountable for unintentionally harming racial groups—claiming they pushed institutions toward “racial balancing.” This move echoes a 2024 Trump executive order aiming to curb such regulations, sparking backlash from civil rights groups who argue these rules are essential to stopping systemic discrimination against students of color. While the ED sees this as preventing reverse racism, advocates warn it’s eroding vital protections for equity in education.
