University Admissions Race-Based Data Collection
Where Things Stand
A federal judge blocked a Department of Education order that required public universities in 17 states to submit race-based admissions data. The administration wants this information to monitor if schools are following bans on affirmative action. This ruling stops the data collection immediately while the courts decide if the government has the legal power to demand it.
