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.

Universities are gonna just provide fake numbers. Now that bullshit is the only currency the White House will accept there will be nothing except bullshit spent there.

I call bullshit on this. They would never willingly compile evidence of systematic racism. They might start down this road until they see what the data demonstrates then they will either sweep it under the carpet or play with how they define races to obscure it.

Are you saying the universities are being racist against white people?
