Education Department Calls for Transparency in University Admissions and Race Data
TL;DR
The U.S. Department of Education, under Secretary Linda McMahon, has directed the National Center for Education Statistics to collect detailed admissions data from universities to ensure race-based preferences are not used, following a Supreme Court ruling against racial preferencing in college admissions. This initiative aims to promote transparency and fairness in higher education by disaggregating data by race and sex, and implementing rigorous audits for accuracy.
