What the document says

“EEOC should disclaim its regulatory pretensions.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 586

The chapter states the commission has no rulemaking authority under Title VII yet issues guidance and technical assistance that push new policy positions. It asks that the commission act by majority vote of Commissioners rather than by unilateral Chair action or staff delegation, disclaim power to enter consent decrees requiring what it could not require by law, and reorient enforcement toward failure to accommodate disability, religion and pregnancy, but not abortion.

What the document actually says

“EEOC should disclaim its regulatory pretensions.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 586
That sentence, in plain words

The EEOC should stop acting as if it can write rules.

What this is about

The EEOC enforces job discrimination law. The book says it cannot write rules. It says the agency acts as though it can.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
