President Donald Trump signed an executive order on August 7, 2025, requiring colleges and universities that receive federal funding to disclose detailed admissions data, including race, test scores, and grades. The directive aims to ensure transparency and verify that these institutions do not consider race in their admissions processes, following a Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action. The order also instructs the Education Secretary to revamp the data collection and presentation system for postsecondary education. Harvard University and other major institutions will be mandated to submit this information. The administration's efforts extend beyond elite universities, impacting public institutions such as those in Florida, where funding cuts align with the broader conservative agenda. The policy has raised questions about the logistics of data collection and concerns among advocates regarding its implications. Trump appointees are overseeing grant allocations to ensure alignment with this agenda. The White House emphasized that this measure is a check on affirmative action policies and part of a broader push for admissions transparency.
