Trump Signs Order Targeting Race in College Admissions
In a significant move, President Trump is set to sign an executive order that will require universities to disclose more admissions data related to race. This directive aims to increase transparency in college admission practices and targets affirmative action policies. The order compels colleges to prove they do not consider race in their admissions processes, with institutions like Columbia and Brown already agreeing to share their admissions data with the Trump administration. Critics argue that such actions may undermine diversity efforts and facilitate a potentially discriminatory agenda in higher education.
