The Trump administration's executive order raises interest in the fierce battle that has already overturned university admissions in recent years, requiring universities to disclose races, test scores and grade point averages for all applicants.
Colleges will face even more intense scrutiny of their admissions practices as the administration pushes them to rely more heavily on them, as experts say, as they say it could bring about a wealthy, less diverse student population of elite universities.
For a century, higher education has been caught up in debate over who should be hospitalized at the country's most selective university. It's a fight that cuts beyond merit, equal opportunity, and legacy of racism to the heart of the country's most challenging ideological disparities.
On the one hand, universities argue that they will create a diverse student body that will benefit everyone when they consider the life experiences of students (including races) and that will correct decades of discrimination. However, conservative movements have questioned the use of such subjective standards in hospitalization, claiming that this practice has led to discrimination against white and Asian students.
Two years ago, conservatives were led by an organization called Students and Fair Enrollment, and won the Supreme Court.
The university has since been rushing to redeploy the admissions process to comply with the sentencing. The president's order is based on court decisions, but goes further by providing the federal government with information that can be used to target universities that it appears to be unaccompany.
