Education Department programs to be handed off to Treasury, DOJ if Trump shuts it down

President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order that would begin the process of eliminating the Department of Education, and the Department of Government Efficiency is already in the process of “actively dismantling” Education Department programs.

DOGE slashed $881 million in Education Department contracts and another $101 million in diversity, equity, and inclusion training grants on Monday. On Tuesday afternoon, Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) said that Elon Musk’s team is still “in the building” dismantling programs.
