The Trump administration continues to have success pushing racial discrimination in the name of “diversity” out of higher education.

Earlier in September, College Board quietly dropped its so-called “Landscape” program that provided demographic information to colleges and universities to use when considering applicants.

College Board is the organization that administers the SAT and ACT tests for prospective college students and manages the Advanced Placement tests.

In August, President Donald Trump signed a memorandum directing the Department of Education “to expand the scope of required reporting for institutions’ admissions data in order to provide adequate transparency as determined by the Secretary of Education.”

The memorandum noted that while the Supreme Court has ruled that considering race is illegal in college admissions, “the lack of available admissions data from universities—paired with the rampant use of ‘diversity statements’ and other overt and hidden racial proxies—continues to raise concerns about whether race is actually used in admissions decisions in practice.”

This clearly put higher education and the organizations they work with on notice.

The reason that higher ed is so leftwing in America isn’t just because there are so many radical professors. […]

Gatekeeping organizations like College Board can ensure that students are already partially pre-screened by ideology and race. Given that colleges and universities have been virtually handed a blank check by the federal government. They’ve had no incentive to change.

Until now.

The Trump administration and many red states are now withdrawing financial support and enforcing civil rights laws against universities to ensure that they can no longer racially discriminate. The administration is using the Justice and Education Departments to protect the right of Americans not to face racial discrimination by woke institutions. […] The counterrevolution continues.
