A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration cannot compel public universities in 17 states to provide extensive data on student race and sex, which was intended to assess compliance with the Supreme Court's 2023 ruling ending affirmative action in higher education.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration's demand for seven years of applicant data from public universities in California and 16 other states, including race, GPA, and test scores, to prove they do not illegally consider race in admissions.
