The reporting requirements of four-year colleges practicing selective admissions are expected to expand in accordance with the U.S. Department of Education. This proposal would require institutions to submit the last six years of admission data. When submitting this data, information such as race, sex, as well as parental education level and GPA must be omitted. This rule is set forth to address institutional admission trends following race-based admissions under the guidance of the Supreme Court’s 2023 race-conscious practice prohibition. This new requirement raises concern on the privacy and potential misuse of student data under the current administration.
