How the Department of Education cuts could change federal support for schools
President Donald Trump’s administration’s recent decision to significantly reduce the U.S. Department of Education’s workforce has raised concerns about the potential impact on the stability and quality of American education. Over 1,300 employees were laid off and nearly 600 resigned voluntarily. This move aligns with Trump’s long-standing objective to dismantle the Department of Education, a goal shared by many conservatives who advocate for reduced federal involvement in education. Established in 1980, the department oversees various programs, including managing a $1.6 trillion student loan portfolio and enforcing civil rights laws in educational institutions. Education Secretary Linda McMahon described the layoffs as

As universities navigate an increasingly polarized political landscape, many have adopted institutional neutrality policies, limiting official statements on social and political issues.

The University of Michigan’s Board of Regents unanimously approved a new policy – institutional neutrality for university leaders – on Oct. 17, 2024. This decision aligns with a broader trend among higher education institutions to limit official commentary on contentious topics.
