The Trump administration is pushing legislation that could result in a major downsizing of the Education Department’s federal oversight of schools, putting Secretary Linda McMahon closer to her goal of dismantling the agency. For instance, H.R. 9611 gives Labor responsibility for: Title III institutional aid, such as Strengthening Institutions and Historically Black Colleges and Universities; TRIO programs, which support low-income, first-generation and disabled students preparing for and succeeding in college
Federal Work-Study; GEAR Up, which helps middle and high school students prepare for college.
