Officials from the Department of Justice and the Department of Education withdrew a set of Obama-era affirmative action policy guideline documents on July 3, saying that they advocate “preferences and positions beyond the requirements of the Constitution.”

Department officials announced the action in a joint letter listing seven policy guideline documents issued between 2011 and 2016 to be withdrawn.
