Judge Blocks Trumps Data Grab from Public Universities

A federal judge in Boston has halted the Trump administrations attempt to collect data on race in college admissions from public universities in states led by Democratic attorneys general. The judge found the rollout rushed and chaotic, with a tight deadline causing issues. The data collection, which includes race, sex, GPAs, and test scores, was ordered by Trump to ensure transparency in how federal funds are spent. However, states argue it invades student privacy and could lead to witch hunts. The Education Department insists its necessary for taxpayers to know how funds are used. Meanwhile, the admin is suing Harvard for not complying with similar requests.
