A federal judge issued a temporary halt on the Trump administration's requirement for universities to submit data on race considerations in admissions.
U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV in Boston responded to a lawsuit by 17 Democratic state attorneys, who objected to the new data collection requirements.
The move aimed to block a component of annual surveys by the U.S. Department of Education aimed at ensuring race is excluded from admissions factors.
