Civil rights prosecutors say the disparate -impact testis one of their most important tools for uncov- ering discrimination be- cause it shows how a seemingly neutral policy or law has different out- comes for different de- mographic groups, reveal- ing inequities. Lawyers say the test has been crucial in showing how criminal background and credit checks affect employment of Black people, how physical ca- pacity tests inhibit em- ployment opportunities for women, how zoning reg- ulations could violate fair housing laws, and how schools have meted out overly harsh discipline to minority students and children with disabilities. Over the past decade, major businesses and organizations have settled cases in which the dispa- rate -impact test was ap- plied, resulting in signif- icant policy changes. One of the largest set- tlements involved Wal- mart, which in 2020 agreed to a $20 million settlement in a case brought by the Equal Em- ployment Opportunity Commission that claimed the company's practice of giving physical ability tests to applicants for certain grocery warehouse jobs made it more difficult for women to get the posi- tions. The use of the dispa- rate -impact rule, however, has also long been a target of conservatives who say that employers and other entities should not be scrutinized and penalized for the mere implication of discrimination, largely on the basis of statistics. Instead, they argue that such scrutiny should be directed at the explicit and intentional discrimination prohibited by the Civil Rights Act Opponents say that the disparate -impact rule has been used to unfairly discriminate against white people. In 2009, the Su- preme Court ruled in favor of white firefighters in New Haven, Connecticut, who claimed reverse dis- crimination when the city threw out a promotional examination on which they had scored better than Black firefighters. Tramp's order resurrec- ts a last-ditch effort made in the final days of his first term to repeal disparate - impact regulations through a formal rule - making process, which was nixed by the Biden administration when Bi- den left office. The new order, titled "Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Merito- cracy," echoes arguments Trump has adopted from far -right conservatives, who say that the country has become too focused on its racist history and that protections from the civil rights era have led to reverse racism against non -minority groups. Disparate -impact liabil- ity is part of"a pernicious movement" that seeks to "transform America's promise of equal opportu- nity into a divisive pursuit of results preordained by irrelevant immutable characteristics, regardless of individual strengths, effort or achievement," the order stated. The president ordered federal agencies to "elim- inate the use of disparate - impact liability in all con- texts to the maximum degree possible," under the law and Constitution, and required that agencies "deprioritize enforcement of all statutes and reg- ulations to the extent they include disparate impact liability." That means no new cases are likely to rely on the theory in civil rights enforcement — and exist- ing ones will not be en- forced. His order also instructs agencies to evaluate exist- ing consent judgments and permanent injunc- tions that rely on the legal theory, which means that cases and agreements in which discrimination has been proved could be abandoned. The order takes aim directly at the use of the test in enforcing the Civil Rights Act, requiring At- torney General Pam Bondi to begin repealing and amending any regulations that apply disparate -im- pact liability to implement the 1964 law. One of the most glaring examples in history of how seemingly race -neutral policies could disenfran- chise certain groups are Jim Crow -era literacy tests, which some states set as a condition to vote after Black people secured rights during Reconstruct- ion. The literacy tests did not ask about race, but were highly subjective in how they were written and administered by white proctors. They disproportionately prevented Black people from casting ballots, bar- ring many who had re- ceived an inferior educa- tion in segregated schools, and were eventually out- lawed with the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In 1971, the Supreme Court established the disparate -impact test in a case that centered on a North Carolina power plant that required job pplicants to have a high school diploma and pass an intelligence test to be hired or transferred to a higher -paying department The court ruled unani- mously that the compa- ny's requirements violated the Civil Rights Act be- cause they limited the promotion of minorities and did not measure job capabilities. Tr unp's executive or- der, which is likely to face legal challenges, falsely claimed that the dispa- rate -impact test was "un- lawful" and violated the Constitution. In fact, the measure was codified by Congress in 1991, upheld by the Supreme Court as recently as 2015 as a vital tool in the work of protect- ing civil rights, and cited in a December 2024 dis- sent by Justice Samuel Aluo. Harrison Fields, a White House spokesperson, said the disparate impact theory "wrongly equates unequal outcomes with discrimination and actual- ly requires discrimination to rebalance outcomes." "The Trump adminis- tration is dedicated to advancing equality, com- bating discrimination and promoting merit -based decisions, upholding the rule of law as outlined in the U.S. Constitution," Fields said. Giancarlo Canaparo, a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation who has argued that eliminat- ing disparate impact would be the f al blow to DEI, noted that Trump would need the help of Congress to fully eradicate the rule. But he said the presi- dent's order would still have a "salutary" impact on the American public by helping people understand that racial animus and disparate outcomes "are not the same things, and they shouldn't be treated the same way in law." "These claims that rac- ial discrimination is the sole cause of racial dis- parities in this country is just empirically false," Canaparo said."The problem with disparate - impact liability is that it presumes that falsehood is true, and accordingly distorts civil rights." Tramp's order contends that businesses and em- ployers face an "insur- mountable" task of prov- ing they did not intend to discriminate when there are different outcomes for different groups, and that disparate impact forced them to "engage in racial balancing to avoid poten- tially crippling legal liabil- ity." FROM PAGE 6A LEO XIV moral questions. The document "ad- dressed the social ques- tion in the Context of the fast great industrial revo- lution," Leo explained. Now, the pope added, another industrial revolu- tion was taking place in the field of artificial in- telligence. That, he said, would "pose new chal- lenges for the defense of human dignity, justice and labor." The church, he said, "offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response." The reference to Fran- cis' document was not the only endorsement that the new pope gave of his pred- ecessor. Francis, Leo noted, was a "humble servant of God and of his brothers and sisters" who gave an "example of com- plete dedication to service and to sober simplicity of life." After the pope's ad- dress, some of the cardi- nals also made speeches. Dominik Duka, a cardinal from Prague, said the subject of some of the speeches was the theme of "synodality" — referring to the process of dialogue between church leaders and lay people that was one of Francis' signature legacies.

During his papacy, Francis made a deal with Beijing in the hopes of bolstering the church's presence there. The cardinals appeared to have noted the message about maintaining the direction set by Francis' papacy. As he exited the meet- 'ng, Cardinal Baltazar Enrique Porras Cardozo of Venezuela said the pope 'spoke about the continui- ty of the pontificate of Francis and then he asked some questions to us." Those questions were "mostly about the forma- tion of priests and bish- ops," the cardinal added. On his way out of the meeting, Cardinal Sean Brady of Ireland said Leo was in the process of "greeting everybody now, which is very nice." On Saturday, after the meeting, Leo made an unannounced visit to Our Lady of Good Council in Genazzano, an Augusti- nian sanctuary outside Rome. A cheering crowd greeted him as he exited the passenger seat of a black minivan. Residents of the town leaned out of windows to take pictures of the pope as he shook hands and waved to those gathered. Later, he paid a visit to St. Mary Major, where Francis is buried. He stood in front of his predeces- sor's simple marble tomb. Before kneeling in front of it in prayer, he laid a white rose on it PUBLIC NOTICE .>«.2aATMOOAMINTHECI.
