Democratic Senators Seek Investigation into Trump’s Education Cuts; SBA to Manage Student Loans

Democratic Senators are pushing for an investigation into former President Donald Trump's proposed cuts to the Department of Education, which they argue could negatively impact students, particularly those with disabilities. The call for scrutiny comes amid reports that the Trump administration sought to dismantle the Department of Education, a move that has sparked significant controversy and concern over the future of education in the United States.

Adding to the educational policy upheaval, the Small Business Administration (SBA) is set to take over the management of student loans. This unexpected shift in responsibility from the Department of Education to the SBA has raised questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of student loan management going forward.

The Department of Education has been criticized for its handling of issues affecting students with disabilities, with recent reports highlighting the need for reforms to mitigate negative impacts. The proposed elimination of the Department by Trump's order has intensified debates about the role of federal government in education and the potential consequences for vulnerable student populations.
