Trump’s efforts to collect race-based college admissions data lead to fears of retaliation
The Trump administration's efforts to collect race-based college admissions data have led to fears of retaliation against universities. A court case is currently weighing the legality of the request, which could be used to target schools perceived as violating a Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action.
The Trump administration is seeking to collect seven years of admissions data from colleges, broken down by race and other factors. This data could be used to go after schools perceived as violating a Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action. A court case is currently underway, with District Judge F. Dennis Saylor giving colleges an extension until April 6 to complete the required data. The administration argues that the data collection is an extension of existing efforts, but plaintiffs claim it places an undue burden on universities. The data could be used to further attacks against higher education, according to critics. The case has sparked concerns about the potential misuse of the data and the impact on universities.
