The Secretary of Education amends the regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VI") to eliminate disparate-impact liability.

After reviewing the relevant issues, weighing the various factors, and analyzing the pertinent considerations, the Department concludes that these reasons, separately and cumulatively, support eliminating disparate-impact liability from the Department's Title VI regulations.
