Beverly Daniel Tatum, a renowned expert on race and education, has raised concerns about potential legal challenges to the administration's ban on using geographic proxies for student recruitment. The move, she suggests, could lead to more Black students considering Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Tatum, a former president of Spelman College, an HBCU, believes the administration's actions towards selective institutions may have unintended consequences. By requiring these institutions to report admissions data disaggregated by race, the administration may inadvertently increase the appeal of HBCUs for Black students.

Tatum's insights are informed by her extensive experience in education. She held the presidency of Spelman College before retiring from the role. The administration's interest in disaggregating admissions data by race, however, appears to focus on boosting the presence of white people in these institutions.

Beverly Daniel Tatum's warnings about the administration's student recruitment policy highlight potential shifts in the educational landscape. Her expertise in race and education, honed during her tenure at Spelman College, lends weight to her concerns. As the administration presses for race-based admissions data, the future of student recruitment and institutional diversity remains uncertain.
