US Department of Education layoffs threaten dozens of student programmes: Here’s which ones are at risk
The US Department of Education has issued layoff notices to over 460 staff, threatening more than 40 student grant programs, including Title I and IDEA. Offices overseeing K-12 and higher education funding, HBCUs, and Hispanic-Serving Institutions face cuts, raising concerns over delayed grants, disrupted support, and reduced federal oversight. A federal judge has temporarily blocked the layoffs amid political uncertainty.
