  • 1.  Trump to order colleges to hand over more race-related admissions data

    Posted 08-07-2025 02:05 PM

    In an anticipated EO coming today, Trump will call for American colleges to hand over race-related admissions data to ensure that these schools are not considering race in during the admissions process. This will be difficult with NCES left with a handful of staff and IES essentially gutted.

    NCES is going to do this with what staff, exactly?

    (Snarky response, I know, but in this case my tact went out the window when they gutted NCES.)

    Trump Orders Colleges to Supply Data on Race in Admissions
    The secretary of education will be responsible for deciding what data institutions must provide, but it's likely to mirror demands made of Brown and Columbia Universities in recent agreements. President Donald Trump issued an executive action Thursday afternoon mandating colleges and universities submit data to verify that they are not unlawfully considering race in admissions decisions.
