As the Trump administration attempts to stamp out the use of proxies for race in school admissions and foundation grant-making decisions, the College Board has dropped a tool that provided university admissions offices with a socio-economic picture of applicants’ backgrounds. The nonprofit did not explain why it has canceled the Landscape service, which does not include information on race, but the decision comes as the Trump administration attacks diversity efforts in all aspects of public life. One expert who lamented the decision noted that Landscape is “race-neutral and its use is perfectly legal,” while a prominent foe of affirmative action said the tool “had become the focus of mounting legal, public, and media scrutiny.” (New York Times)
