What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

The Trump administration has implemented new tax laws targeting the Department of Education while Linda McMahon serves as Secretary of Education. A ProPublica analysis of Department of Education records found that the civil rights arm of the department has significantly scaled back investigations into schools and colleges since the second Trump administration began, launching an average of about 100 new investigations per month, compared to 310 per month during the previous administration. Furthermore, Linda McMahon issued a notice to all government-funded universities requiring them to implement major reforms, including transparent admissions standards and ensuring research serves the American people.
