The significant reduction of the U.S. Department of Education by former President Trump, with staff layoffs cutting the department in half, raises concerns about its ability to serve students and manage federal student loans effectively. Experts warn that the cuts, including drastic layoffs in key areas managing student aid, could lead to service disruptions and hinder oversight, potentially resuming predatory practices in education. While the department vows to continue its core programs, the drastic workforce reduction might compromise essential functions like processing applications and ensuring compliance from educational institutions.
