01 / The rule

What Title VI requires

Any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance, including public schools and most colleges.

01Do not use AI tools that treat students differently on the basis of race, color or national origin.
02Respond to known race or national-origin harassment, including AI-generated content such as deepfakes targeting students.
03Give the required assurance of Title VI compliance as a condition of federal funding (34 CFR 100.4).
04Keep compliance records and give OCR access to them on request (34 CFR 100.6).

02 / In this sector

In a legal AI workflow

AI used in admissions, discipline, risk scoring, monitoring or language services is covered where it treats students differently by race, color or national origin. Since ED and DOJ removed disparate-impact rules, a neutral AI tool with unequal results is no longer a Title VI violation under ED's regulations without proof of intent.

Optional evidence · where Planisphere fits

Keep a record anyone can check

When your team meets a duty, Planisphere can seal the event it reports as a receipt.

01 · Your teamRecord the event

A disclosure shown, a review signed, a model change approved: the event your system reports.

02 · PlanisphereSeal it

The event becomes a sealed receipt, dated and attributed to whoever is signed in.

03 · AnyoneCheck it

Paste the receipt into Verify. No account or key.

A record supports your compliance evidence process. It is not a legal finding or a certification. Systems that call Planisphere's gate API can also hold or refuse an action before it runs.
