President Trump wants institutions of higher learning to prove they are no longer using affirmative action to make admittance decisions. He also does not want lip service. He wants to see the receipts.
SCOOP: Trump is expected to sign a Presidential Memorandum on Thursday, ordering higher education institutions to hand over their admissions data in order to prove they are not engaging in affirmative action, a senior White House official told @DailyCaller.

A fact sheet,…
Big changes to higher ed keep coming under @POTUS.

Universities must now report admissions data by race. Americans deserve to know if schools are admitting students based on skin color.
Under the Trump Admin, merit & excellence will define higher ed again.…
It's clear the Trump administration is done with DEI and is no longer accepting excuses.
It used to take lawsuits that went to discovery to get this information

Not any longer. Thank you!
The Trump administration has learned they can't take these leader's word for it. They lie and try to hide the truth. This is the only way.
Keep it coming, Madame Secretary. Keep it coming. POTUS!

Many of them.
Should check their faculty and staff hiring as well

This is also important. It's become clear activist professors are causing a great deal of the issues on campus.
I just want to know why any of them were getting federal money to start with. Especially the "private" colleges.

It will be interesting to see.
They should look into hiring practices as well as the DEI training modules used that were required by all employees.

Those should also be eliminated.
I suspect some of these institutions will falsify the admissions data. Deceit is foundational to this movement.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Waaay back 😳 when I went to college, I didn't realize how much we were being indoctrinated! I just knew I didn't like it, & I DEFINITELY didn't follow the crowd! I am thankful our President is not playing! Or in old school terms: "He's not taking tea for the fever!" 😅

It's gotten worse.
There will be a quiet, desperate scramble to cook the books.

good. it’s called oversight.
— kb (@kj2158) August 7, 2025
if they are following the law then there shouldn’t be any issue.
Precisely! If there is nothing to hide, this shouldn't be a problem at all.

Good. If you receive millions in federal funds, you should behave yourselves. Universities have not. https://t.co/DKgQWqAxlv

Exactly! No more using tax dollars to discriminate against some students.
