Colleges and universities have come under scrutiny from the Trump administration for alleged liberal bias and race-based admissions practices. Trump claims that institutions continue to consider race in admissions despite a 2023 Supreme Court ruling against such practices. He demands transparency from colleges, asserting that fair admissions practices are crucial for national security and the integrity of higher education. The Supreme Court's decision against affirmative action was celebrated by Trump, though he insists more needs to be done to ensure fairness in admissions processes.
"American students and taxpayers deserve confidence in the fairness and integrity of our Nation's institutions of higher education, including confidence that they are recruiting and training capable future doctors, engineers, scientists, and other critical workers vital to the next generations of American prosperity."
"Race-based admissions practices are not only unfair, but also threaten our national security and well-being. It is therefore the policy of my Administration to ensure institutions of higher education receiving Federal financial assistance are transparent in their admissions practices."
