The Trump administration has detailed a proposal requiring selective colleges to report racially disaggregated admissions data, which includes information from the last five years. Institutions must submit data on race, sex, high school GPA, test scores, application timing, and financial aid status. This initiative aims to improve compliance with civil rights laws. The plan excludes legacy admissions and focuses solely on four-year institutions. The public has a 60-day window to comment on the proposal, particularly concerning the data reporting burden on university staff.
The Trump administration issued a proposal requiring certain colleges to report detailed admissions data by race and sex over the past five years, citing compliance risks.
Under the Admissions and Consumer Transparency Supplement, selective colleges must gather comprehensive data including GPA, test scores, application timing, and financial aid status.
Public feedback is encouraged for 60 days on the reporting requirements and anticipated impacts on university staff, as higher education professionals express operational concerns.
Concerns have been raised regarding the administrative burden this data collection will place on institutions and the potential implications for staff managing the new requirements.
