A coalition of 17 Democratic state attorneys general has launched a legal challenge against a new Trump administration policy that requires higher education institutions to disclose detailed admissions data disaggregated by race and sex.
The legal action aims to block a federal mandate that requires nearly 2,200 institutions to retroactively report seven years of student demographic and academic performance metrics by 18 March 2026. State officials argue that the policy is a 'rushed and arbitrary' administrative overreach that threatens student privacy and exposes institutions to baseless investigations and severe financial penalties.
