The Trump administration has begun a sweeping reorganization that breaks up the U.S. Department of Education and transfers major programs to other federal agencies. The administration signed interagency agreements moving K‑12 and many postsecondary grant programs to the Department of Labor, Native and tribal oversight to Interior, and other functions to HHS and State. Officials argue the moves will return authority to states and streamline operations, while opponents warn the changes risk disruption to financial‑aid delivery and ongoing grants. Tribal colleges and tribal leaders are already signaling alarm: Interior’s planned takeover of tribal college fund management will shift long‑standing relationships and controls over student support dollars. College leaders and financial‑aid officers say program handoffs could create operational gaps, compliance risks and delays for institutions and students during the transition period.
