US EditionTribal Leaders Say Trump Administration Failed to Consult with Them on Education Department Changes
The restructuring shifts key education programs across four agencies, raising concerns about impacts on vulnerable students and legal challenges, while student loans remain under Education Department control.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump’s team announced agreements transferring core U.S. Department of Education functions to Labor, Interior, Health and Human Services, and State, marking a significant overhaul since 1979.
- Officials said the change is meant to reduce administrative burdens and align education with workforce readiness, while critics say it follows a directive to dismantle the department after layoffs earlier this year.
- The Department of Labor will manage Title I and postsecondary grants, while the Department of the Interior will oversee Indian Education programs, and HHS will run CCAMPIS, officials said.
- Advocates warned that more than 40 million Americans hold student loans exceeding $1.6 trillion, and Carolina Rodriguez said, `'What is concerning is the destabilization of the Department of Education and Federal Student Aid at the very moment when consistent, technically skilled oversight is most needed.'
- Vulnerable students face risks as Trump officials explore selling federal student loans to private lenders, who hold 8% of loans but attract more than 40% of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau complaints.
