​Framing it as a push for “transparency,” President Trump has ordered the Department of Education to collect new admissions data from colleges and universities, with a primary focus on applicants’ race. ow.ly/bktF50WEAEv

"This is a fishing expedition," ACE's Ted Mitchell told @npr.org regarding the directive that IHEs provide expanded admissions data. He added, "All [the Supreme Court] said was, you can't use race as a determining factor, even though they also said diversity is really important." ow.ly/strJ50WBLyG

Families still believe in college. And new data reinforces this fact. A Gallup/Lumina survey finds most parents want their kids to pursue education beyond high school. Read more in @insidehighered.com: www.insidehighered.com/news/student...
