The Department of Justice issued guidance for all organizations receiving federal funding regarding DEI. Notably, it seems to put top ten percent admission plans on shaky ground because of references to geographic targeting.

Don’t just look at the higher ed provisions in the bill. The impact of the Medicaid and SNAP cuts on state budgets will lead to cuts in state higher ed funding.
"The Office of State Planning and Budgeting estimated that the GOP megabill will decrease state revenues by as much as $500 million and increase costs to the state by as much as $650 million."

The biggest impact of this legislation on higher ed is going to come from the budget hits states are going to take.
There's a lot in a state budget that can't be cut. Higher ed can be.
That's likely to make higher education more expensive for millions of people.

The Joint Finance Committee co-chairs removed UW System from their agenda yesterday for unspecified reasons but Todd Allbaugh of @civicmedia.us said on X that Republicans on JFC plan to introduce an $87 million cut to UW System's budget, effectively "gutting the Wisconsin Idea."
Report: Republicans weighing $87 million cut to UW system
By contrast, the UW system had requested an $856 million increase in state aid.
