""The threat of irreparable harm here is real. There's the burden of completing the survey, given the timing and the rollout issues. And then there's the enforcement risk, or the risk of enforcement or fines based on inadequate or missing data, once that has been submitted.""
""Relief from those harms requires freezing the agency implementation as it is now and preventing the department from enforcing the deadline, collecting data, accessing already-submitted data, publishing data and enforcing either through fines or through enforcement actions based on that data.""
A federal judge has blocked the Education Department from collecting race- and gender-related admissions data from public colleges. Many institutions are seeking relief from the Admissions and Consumer Transparency Supplement survey, which aims to identify unlawful race-based admissions practices. Colleges argue that the survey causes irreparable harm, including the burden of completion and risks of enforcement or fines for inadequate data. The judge is expected to extend temporary restraining orders, allowing more time for institutions to complete the survey amid ongoing backlash against previous administration policies.
