President Donald Trump’s recent executive order to dismantle the Department of Education has elicited a significant concern among educators and students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds and with disabilities. The initiative aims to decentralize educational oversight, transferring authority to individual states.  The Department of Education, established in 1979, administers federal funding programs such as Pell Grants for low-income college students and Title I funds for K-12 schools serving disadvantaged communities. It also enforces civil rights laws to ensure equitable access to education.  The act creating the department described its mission, in part, as: “To strengthen the Federal commitment to ensuring

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

Faculty, students discuss effects of institutional neutrality on key issues

As universities navigate an increasingly polarized political landscape, many have adopted institutional neutrality policies, limiting official statements on social and political issues. Supporters say these policies preserve academic freedom and prevent institutions from endorsing particular viewpoints, while critics argue they suppress important discourse and leave students feeling unheard. 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. Regent Mark Bernstein emphasized the policy aims to empower individual faculty
