The Education Department is considering changing how civil rights investigations are conducted at schools.

Currently, investigations into discrimination complaints in schools look beyond the specific incident of discrimination and probe for any possible "systemic" or institutional issues that lead to civil rights issues in the first place. The education department could change that so future probes focus instead on the main complaint at hand.

The proposed change, which was revealed in a document obtained by The Associated Press, removes the word “systemic” from guidelines on how to probe civil rights violations.

Discrimination advocates told the AP that the change could allow for the continuation of the same widespread behaviors that lead to investigations in the first place.

The policy change was included in a draft of new policy proposals, and a final version of the policies will be published next year, The AP reported.

Mostly what they represent but there's some spillover onto the person.
