Trump Administration Moves to Eliminate Department of Education

The Trump administration is drafting an executive order to initiate the elimination of the Department of Education, a move that could significantly impact federal education policies and programs, particularly those related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

• The elimination of the Department of Education could lead to a significant rollback of federal support for programs that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in education.
• The targeting of employees associated with DEI efforts indicates a broader agenda to diminish the focus on these initiatives within federal education policy.
• If the department is eliminated, it may result in a lack of centralized oversight for educational equity, potentially exacerbating disparities in access and resources for marginalized communities.
