Benchmark: USDA Regulation Update: Eliminating Disparate-Impact Liability under Title VI

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from the course on USDA Final Rule – Rescinding Disparate-Impact Liability in Title VI Regulations.

This short self-check isn’t an exam. It helps you gauge how well you grasp the rule’s intent (intentional discrimination only), its practical impacts on policies, training, site selection, employment-related programs, documentation, and how to navigate overlaps with other funders.

What you’ll get from taking it:

• Clarity on where your current approach may over- or under-focus on disparate outcomes vs. intent
• Insight into operational trade-offs (efficiency vs. equity strategies, compliance risk vs. flexibility)
• A sense of readiness to update policies, training, and recordkeeping
• Guidance on how demographic data still fits into investigations and oversight

Who should consider this benchmark? Anyone whose programs receive USDA funding or intersect with federal civil rights requirements—program leaders, compliance staff, grant administrators, and partners who help shape eligibility, site selection, or hiring in federally assisted programs.

Use your results to focus your learning: the more items that feel uncertain or like “it depends,” the more you’ll gain from the course’s practical steps and examples.
