• “Disparate-impact claims are nearly impossible to square with our colorblind Constitution,” said Chairman Andrew N.
• “They impose liability for discrimination without any evidence that anyone intended to discriminate, which pushes businesses to make race-based decisions in order to avoid liability.
• The Commission never had authority to impose disparate-impact liability.
• Today, we announce that the Commission will never do so again.” The policy statement follows President Donald Trump’s issuance of an executive order last year on “Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy” that set forth “the policy of the United States to eliminate the use of disparate-impact liability in all contexts to the maximum degree possible to avoid violating the Constitution, Federal civil rights laws, and basic American ideals.” Disparate-impact theory presumes that a difference in outcome among demographic groups must be the result of unlawful discrimination, even if no evidence of discrimination exists.
• As the policy statement explains, the Commission lacks the statutory authority to consider claims under this novel legal theory.
