"Under the terms of the agreement laid out in the memo: Universities must ensure that admissions and financial support services disregard race and sex when admitting students and hiring staff and faculty. They must publicly share anonymised admissions data, including GPA and test scores, broken down by race, national origin and sex. All applicants to universities are required to take a standardised test, such as the SAT, before they can be admitted."
"International students must not make up more than 15 percent of undergraduate enrolments. Universities must ensure they remain a vibrant marketplace of ideas on campus with no dominant political ideology. They must abolish departments which purposefully punish, belittle, and even spark violence against conservative ideas. Universities are required to freeze tuition fees for five years, reduce administrative costs and publicly share graduate earnings by programme."
The United States government asked nine universities to accept a 10-point set of requirements to receive preferential federal funding. The requirements include disregarding race and sex in admissions and hiring while publicly sharing anonymised admissions data with breakdowns by race, national origin and sex. All applicants must take a standardized test and international undergraduate enrollment must not exceed 15 percent. Campuses must preserve a marketplace of ideas with no dominant political ideology and eliminate departments that punish conservative viewpoints. Institutions must freeze tuition for five years, cut administrative costs, publish graduate earnings by program and implement targeted tuition waivers for hard science students at wealthy schools. Noncompliance risks loss of federal benefits.
