U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday is expected to sign an order requiring universities to hand over admissions data to prove that they are not engaged in affirmative action efforts, the White House press secretary said in a post on X.

In her post on X, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did not give details on the order such as the ramifications universities will face if they do not cooperate.

What's he hoping to see to "prove that they are not engaged in affirmative action?" Is it admission that is demographically consistent with the region in which the university is located? Or is it admission that is prominently the same race as the president?

That last one, they are going to penalize anything that isn't admitting more white males than anyone else.
