End Title VI disparate-impact school-discipline enforcement; clarify no disparate-impact standard
Mandate continues Trump policy rejecting disparate-impact discipline theory, reviews Title VI cases/resolution agreements, issues joint ED–DOJ guidance ending exclusive disparate-impact investigations, rescinds Biden guidance/rules, and promulgates a regulation stating Title VI has no disparate-impact standard.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 11 (Education) — Title VI School Discipline: continue Trump policy; comprehensive review of Title VI cases for disparate-impact allegations; review resolution agreements; joint ED–DOJ enforcement guidance that agencies will no longer investigate Title VI cases resting exclusively on disparate impact; rescind Biden guidance/regulations; Secretary and AG issue regulation clarifying Title VI does not include disparate-impact standard.
Undo plan
1) Reinstate ability to challenge facially neutral policies with unjustified unjust racial impacts where courts allow.
2) Support school safety while prohibiting intentional racial discrimination in discipline.
3) Audit/rescind only agreements that illegally compelled racial quotas—not all climate reforms.
4) Publish legal basis distinguishing Title VI regulations from Title VII doctrine carefully.
5) Verify: discipline rates, safety incidents, and discrimination findings.
