The federal government recently cut significant funding from Columbia University and has threatened similar actions against Harvard and others unless they reform admissions practices the Trump administration finds concerning. These practices include implementing merit-based policies and ceasing racial preferences in admissions, following the Supreme Court's ruling on affirmative action. The push seems to target highly selective institutions, indicating a government focus on their admissions processes. While Columbia and Harvard have taken steps to comply with these demands, questions about the evidence backing the administration's claims remain unanswered, highlighting uncertainty in the ongoing discourse about fairness in college admissions.
There is growing pressure from the federal government for elite universities to reform admissions policies, particularly concerning the rejection of race-based criteria.
The Trump administration's directives suggest a broader agenda targeting admissions processes at highly selective universities, with potential implications for several prestigious institutions.
