Brookings Webinar: What do education leaders need to know about the Department of Education's new guidance on race and civil rights?

On February 14, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights released non-binding guidance claiming that any race-conscious efforts or initiatives, including diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, are in violation of federal civil rights law.

Join Brookings for a webinar on Friday, February 28 at 1:30 p.m. ET with education and legal scholars, including experts in education civil rights enforcement, to discuss the legality of the February 14 guidance letter. The discussion will focus on the potential implications for the schools, districts, states, and colleges and universities that are required to comply with federal civil rights law as a condition of receiving federal funding. Have questions?
