The Chronicle of Higher Education is maintaining a running tracker of executive orders, agency actions and legal challenges from the Trump administration that affect colleges and universities. The tracker compiles Department of Education notices, DOJ civil‑rights probes, funding conditions and litigation aimed at reshaping federal relationships with campuses, including enforcement actions and proposed regulatory changes. Campus leaders are using the resource to monitor compliance risk, anticipate funding shifts and coordinate legal or advocacy responses. Universities facing investigations or funding threats are increasingly aligning counsel, faculty governance and public affairs teams to manage legal exposure and preserve research operations.
