The Trump administration's ongoing policies are reshaping funding and regulatory landscapes in higher education, particularly affecting federal aid and civil rights enforcement. Recent changes include the halting of income-based loan forgiveness programs, disruptions in financial aid services due to department layoffs, and restoration plans for Office for Civil Rights (OCR) employees following court orders. Concurrently, a growing number of legal challenges and policy shifts pertain to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, with several universities contending with federal demands related to civil rights allegations and funding adjustments. These actions have led to widespread concern among students, educational leaders, and advocacy groups about the evolving support structure and regulatory oversight in postsecondary education.
