Demands for Data on Race and the Future of College Admissions
Manage episode 505718845 series 2559574
dotEDU is back for Season 7 with an examination of President Trump's demand for admissions data by race and sex and what that means for campuses. Hosts Mushtaq Gunja, Jon Fansmith, and Sarah Spreitzer—joined by ACE’s Hiro Okahana—explain what’s being requested, what’s lawful, and the need to avoid misleading metrics and protect student privacy. Plus: updates on international students, Harvard’s funding-freeze case, and the outlook on appropriations for the fiscal year that starts Oct. 1.
