Holding

A companion final rule removing disparate-impact liability from the Department of Education's Title VI regulations and eliminating illustrative examples of 'unlawful racial balancing.' Scored under the 85/15 legal-text weighting as a normative instrument enacting policy, with Tier 2 reducing to authenticity of an official Federal Register rule. Strong alignment with equal protection applied equally (Article III), restrained federal reach (Article XII), and intent-based enforcement in education (Article XIV). Final score 81 (Tier 1 80, Tier 2 88) — America First. No Automatic Fail.
