What the official said
“The Department’s final rule eliminates the Methods of Administrations program (MOA) from the regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI), which has long imposed unnecessary federal requirements on Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs.”
Claimant: U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights Office for Civil Rights
Agency or office: Department of Education
Context
The press release states the Department rescinded Appendix B to 34 CFR Part 100 (the MOA program) and emphasizes that substantive obligations under federal civil rights laws and OCR's enforcement authority remain unchanged. It characterizes the MOA as a duplicative oversight requirement previously imposed only on CTE programs.
Evidence
The claim is a direct statement of regulatory action reported in the Department of Education's press release. The department says it has rescinded Appendix B to 34 CFR Part 100 (removing the MOA requirement). This is a verifiable administrative change recorded in the agency's rulemaking or regulatory text (the press release cites the rescission).
