During his first 10 days in office, President Trump issued multiple executive orders aimed at reversing policies related to 'woke ideology' and immigration enforcement on college campuses, causing concern in higher education. Despite the lack of immediate impact, experts call for caution in interpreting these actions. The Education Department remains understaffed, operating with an interim team that promises significant changes as they work to enforce Trump's agenda. This situation has left university administrators anxious about potential repercussions and the future of higher education policies under the new administration.
In a Jan. 23 news release, department officials said they had removed or archived hundreds of documents, dissolved councils and canceled service contracts that go against the president's 'ongoing commitment to prioritize student debt relief and higher education reform.'
Experts emphasize walking a fine line, balancing necessary caution and alarm in response to Trump's efforts targeting higher education policies and practices.
