The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has sued the Trump administration for issuing a series of directives collectively known as the “Title VI Documents,” which include a Dear Colleague Letter, a Frequently Asked Questions document, and a funding certification requirement. The NAACP alleges that these directives represent an unlawful reinterpretation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, one that undermines equal educational opportunities for Black students. The complaint asserts that the directives amount to final agency action taken without proper rulemaking, and that they intentionally discriminate against Black students, employ unconstitutionally vague terms, and infringe upon First Amendment rights to association and expression.
