President Donald Trump signed an executive order on August 7, 2025, requiring U.S. colleges and universities to disclose admissions data related to race. The directive mandates institutions, including Harvard, to submit detailed information proving they do not consider race in their admissions processes. This move follows a Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action and aims to increase transparency in college admissions. The Trump administration is actively seeking to identify colleges that still use race as a factor in student selection. The Department of Education will oversee the collection of this disaggregated admissions data, although questions remain about the logistics of data collection. Concurrently, the Justice Department announced a civil settlement prohibiting race-based admissions at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and the U.S. Air Force Academy. Attorney General Pam Bondi emphasized the department’s commitment to eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices throughout the federal government. Additionally, the Justice Department reported that the Suffolk County Police Department is in substantial compliance with a 2014 agreement, reflecting ongoing efforts to ensure constitutional compliance in public safety agencies.
