The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of President Trump’s administration, permitting the dismissal of over 1,300 workers at the Department of Education. This decision enables the administration to advance its longstanding goal of significantly reducing or eliminating the department, a move supported by some conservatives for decades. The workforce of the DOE is projected to be cut to about half its size from 2024 levels, with major layoffs occurring in the Office of Federal Student Aid, responsible for managing crucial financial aid programs for millions of students annually.
The mass layoffs primarily affected the Office of Federal Student Aid, which plays a crucial role in administering grant, work study, and student loan programs for millions of students annually.
The Department of Education is expected to operate at approximately half its size compared to 2024 due to the ongoing mass layoffs and resignations.
