This seems fine. College dishonesty about admissions practice is a central part of the public's loss of trust. Since colleges don't seem capable of being honest about this stuff, so taking away the option of dishonesty seems good.

This is a funny objection. If the SES data shows that you're not breaking the law, you could, you know, just release the SES data as well. Hard to side with the guy who's saying "no no, you really need to let us keep this all secret, it's in the public interest"

"We promise we'll do the right thing if you just let us keep it secretive." It would be easier to make this case if elite higher ed hadn't burned through 200% of the public's faith in them through decades of aggressive progressive politics.
