Aug 7 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday is expected to sign an order requiring universities to hand over admissions data to prove that they are not engaged in affirmative action efforts, the White House press secretary said in a post on X.
In her post on X, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did not give details on the order such as the ramifications universities will face if they do not cooperate.
Since taking office for his second term, Trump's administration has attempted to dismantle affirmative action policies at universities, launching dozens of investigations and threatening to cut off funding to schools that promote diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

Short article at post time.
I thought this was already being tracked.

But remember folks, we must ignore this because the only thing that is important in the whole wide world is "Price of eggs", "Kitchen table issues", "Working class".

(16,404 posts)Aren't some of these universities privately owned and funded? Aren't they governed by a Board of Regents? Don't they have ANY say in how they run their schools?
Capitulation needs to be the word of the day.

(14,847 posts)The stated emergency is always either not an emergency or just made up out of whole cloth. Since there's no push back, his goons run with it. A few lawsuits will be filed but with endless delays/appeals/venue-shopping/corrupt judges, etc., as well as the routine ignoring of court orders, there is no judicial branch anymore. The congress is afraid of doing anything, so we have an orange king.
