Trump’s demand for admissions data sends wary colleges scrambling
US colleges are rushing to meet a deadline to submit admissions data to the Trump administration, which claims it needs the information to ensure schools aren't giving preferential treatment based on race. The data collection has sparked controversy, with some states suing to block it and colleges bracing for potential crackdowns on diversity efforts.
US colleges face a Wednesday deadline to submit admissions data to the Trump administration. The data includes race, GPA, and test scores for all applicants since 2019. The administration says this is necessary to ensure schools aren't giving preferential treatment based on race. A federal judge is considering whether the mandate is enforceable. The demand for data is part of the White House's broader campaign to reshape higher education. Colleges that don't comply could lose access to federal funds and financial aid.
