Trump's Victory Signals Major Overhaul in Higher Education Policies

Donald Trump's election victory threatens to reverse many of President Joe Biden's higher education reforms, including student loan forgiveness and protections for LGBTQ+ students. Trump's administration may dismantle the Department of Education, a move supported by some Republicans, though it would require congressional approval. Trump's Agenda47 plan aims to impose stricter standards on higher education and target accreditors. The potential policy shifts create uncertainty for colleges, especially given recent Supreme Court decisions limiting federal agency power.
