U.S. Naval Academy to stop considering race in admissions

The USNA superintendent issued guidance barring the consideration of race, ethnicity, or sex as a factor in its admissions process in light of Trump administration directives.

The U.S. Naval Academy has changed its policy and will no longer consider race as a factor when evaluating candidates to attend the elite military school, a practice it maintained even after the U.S. Supreme Court barred civilian colleges from employing similar affirmative action policies.
