Trump Signs Order for More Student Admission Data from Universities

Donald Trump has signed an executive order requiring universities and colleges receiving federal funding to enhance transparency in student admission data.

The order stipulates that the Department of Education will overhaul the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System to better record tuition costs, student body composition, and other relevant information.

The Trump administration also plans to broaden the range of mandatory data submitted by educational institutions and intensify accuracy checks. The Department of Education will be authorized to take corrective action when incomplete or inaccurate records are found.

This move is part of a broader plan to restructure higher education in the US, including cuts in funding to top universities such as Harvard and Princeton.
