""The 120-day deadline imposed by the President led directly to the failure of NCES (National Center for Education Statistics) to engage meaningfully with the institutions during the notice-and-comment process to address the multitude of problems presented by the new requirements.""
""The data has been sought in such a hasty and irresponsible way that it will create problems for universities," a lawyer for the plaintiffs, Michelle Pascucci, told the court, adding that the effort seemed aimed at uncovering unlawful practices."
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against the Trump administration's data collection efforts regarding race in college admissions. The ruling, prompted by a coalition of 17 Democratic state attorneys general, applies to public universities. The judge noted that while the federal government has the authority to collect such data, the process was chaotic and rushed, failing to allow meaningful engagement with institutions. Concerns were raised about student privacy and the potential for baseless investigations into colleges and universities due to the hastily imposed deadlines.
