A federal judge has issued a ruling blocking a Trump administration initiative concerning college admissions. The order prevents the administration from moving forward with its demand for specific data from higher education institutions.
The blocked effort would have required colleges to show they do not consider race in their admissions processes or provide related race-based data. This ruling specifically impacts colleges and universities across 17 states.
The decision marks a setback for the administration's push regarding race-conscious admissions policies. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
