The potential elimination of the Department of Education raises profound concerns for higher education institutions, including access to federal funding, student financial aid, and accreditation processes. At a webinar on February 7, Bruce Thompson and Nina Gupta of Parker Poe, along with Ken Preede of Parker Poe Federal Strategies, explored:
1. The legislative hurdles and likelihood of DOE dismantling.
2. The potential disruption to Pell Grants, Federal Work-Study, and other aid programs.
3. The implications for accreditation and federally funded research.
4. How institutions can advocate effectively to influence the future of higher education policy.
