The US President Donald Trump is expected to sign a memorandum on Thursday’s directing of universities that receive federal financing to publish extended admission data, said the White House in turn to ensure compliance with the Supreme Court’s decision against affirmatic proceedings.
Karoline Leavtt, the printing of the White House, announced the upcoming X (formerly Twitter) directive and said the administration would require universities to provide evidence that they were not dealing with receiving practices with the knowledge of race.
“Transparency”
The head of the White House official said ABC News that the Directive would have the task for the Minister of Education to report admission data to report the need for “transparency” in higher education.
According to ABC News review, the lack of available admissions from universities raises concerns about whether the race is actually used in admission decisions in practice. “
Data to include racial and academic records
New reports for reporting will include information on the Rase of Applicants, a test score and academic performance. According to the White House, the aim is to “verify that their acceptance does not include illegal discrimination.”
The continuous sheets add that the Ministry of Education will also be ordered to revise their website to be “more efficient, easily accessible and understandable to parents and students”.
Settlement with Ivy League schools
The Directive is governed by recent settlements with Columbia and Brown University, which agreed to publish detailed receiving data, including racial information, after months of negotiations with Trump’s federal financing administration.
This settlement triggered a national debate on academic freedom, government supervision and the role of race in admission to university.
DEI
This last step fits into the wider effort of Trump’s administration to dismantle diversity, justice and inclusion (Dei). In his first week in the office, Trump signed an executive order that requires all federal departments and agencies to remove “discriminatory and illegal preferences, mandates, politicians, programs” bound to Dei’s efforts.
