Summary: Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC, along with seventeen other organizations, opposes the Proposed Rule because it expands the definition of "socially disadvantaged" beyond Congress's intent and lacks evidence of discrimination regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. They argue the rule contravenes statutory findings and allows individuals who were not previously eligible for the 8(a) Program to participate without a legal or factual basis.
