The Trump administration is pulling a 1978 disparate-impact framework out of federal hiring regulations, eliminating rules that required agencies to apply it to job tests and other employment standards. The rule is scheduled for publication Friday, when it will take effect, followed by a 60-day public comment period. OLC wrote:EEOC's Title VII guidelines are unconstitutional because they contemplate liability based on disparate effects alone, without regard to an employer’s likely intent, and pressure employers to engage in race-based decisionmaking. The change does not repeal Title VII or other federal nondiscrimination laws. Agencies must still analyze the jobs they are filling, connect employment requirements to job performance, and use professionally developed selection procedures.
