Experts predict that Trump’s approach to higher education in his second term will not abolish the Education Department but will likely include significant budget cuts and reductions in financial aid programs.
During Trump's first administration, the Education Department faced yearly budget cuts, with the 2020 proposal suggesting a $5.6 billion reduction, primarily targeting financial aid programs.
The Republican-controlled Congress may support Trump's efforts to cut funding for programs like Federal Work-Study, which has already seen substantial reductions in recent years.
While Pell funding may remain safe due to political considerations, other federal initiatives aimed at increasing college access are at risk of substantial cuts.
