Recent scrutiny from the Trump administration has pressured colleges to alter admissions practices with an emphasis on merit. Directives include an executive action that mandates additional admissions data submission to the Education Department and a memo warning against using geographic targeting for recruitment, which could be considered unlawful discrimination. Colleges risk losing federal grant funding if found engaging in such practices. This scrutiny coincides with admissions season, potentially complicating recruitment efforts for many institutions that have begun their outreach.
The Trump administration has focused on ensuring merit in college admissions, pressuring institutions to change practices that could lead to the perception of racial bias or discrimination.
Colleges are warned against using geographical targeting for recruitment, as it could be seen as racially motivated, leading to potential loss of federal grant funding.
