    Education Department rescinds disparate impact rule, a key tool used to assess school discrimination

    The Education Department has rescinded a rule that allowed considering school policies with disproportionate impacts on students as discriminatory unless intentional, affecting civil rights enforcement under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. The change, effective immediately without public comment, removes a key tool for addressing racial disparities in school discipline, particularly impacting Black students, and faces criticism from civil rights groups.
