"Government officials have demanded colleges submit detailed data on the racial makeup of their admitted students, cast suspicion on so-called proxies for race in the admissions process and required some universities to reform their admissions practices-without specifying what, exactly, needed changing. (The administration has also used the decision as justification to call for the cancellation of other diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, from scholarships to student lounges.)"
"Now, as these leaders grapple with the new challenges the Trump administration has brought-and as the first day of NACAC's annual conference kicks off in Columbus, Ohio-Pérez hopes his book, which is built upon interviews with dozens of admissions leaders from across the country, will prove an important resource for others struggling to navigate the hot seat.

More than two years after the Supreme Court barred consideration of race in admissions, the federal government has intensified oversight of higher-education enrollment practices.

The administration has invoked the ruling to challenge a range of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, including scholarships and student spaces. Admissions leaders occupy highly visible roles whose mistakes carry broad consequences. National admissions leadership emphasizes practical guidance and shared strategies to help professionals respond to evolving legal, administrative, and public pressures.
