A federal court has temporarily blocked the Trump Administration from moving forward with a controversial requirement that would force colleges and universities to demonstrate they are not considering race in their admissions processes.
On Saturday, the federal judge issued the ruling, describing the administration’s rollout of the data collection mandate as having been implemented in a “rushed and chaotic” manner.
The legal challenge represents the latest development in ongoing disputes over college admissions policies and how institutions handle diversity considerations in their student selection processes.
The temporary halt prevents the administration from immediately collecting the requested information from higher education institutions while legal proceedings continue.
