The White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitt mentioned in a post on the "X" platform that U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to sign an order today, Thursday, requiring universities to submit admission data to prove that they are not engaged in what is known as affirmative action, which aims to ensure increased representation of underrepresented minorities in higher education.
Levitt did not mention in the post the details related to this order, such as the consequences that universities will face if they do not cooperate.
Since taking office in his second term, the Trump administration has attempted to dismantle affirmative action policies, initiated dozens of investigations, and threatened to cut funding to universities that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
