Trump orders colleges to prove they don't consider race in admissions
Briefly

President Trump signed an executive order requiring colleges to submit evidence that they do not consider race in their admissions processes. This follows the Supreme Court's 2023 ruling against affirmative action, although it allowed consideration of how race shapes students' lives through personal statements. Conservatives argue that colleges continue to discriminate through other means. The executive order demands data on applicants' race, grades, and test scores. Recent admissions results show varied diversity changes across universities after the ruling.
