Students, Researchers Would Feel Effects of Trump Budget Cuts
“President Donald Trump’s 2018 budget plan, which requires approval from Congress and therefore is subject to change, would cut $9 billion from Department of Education spending, or 13.5 percent. The State Department budget would be pared by $15 billion, or 28 percent.
The Education Department would face cuts in programs that prepare low-income and disabled students for college, teacher training programs, community learning centers that provide enrichment and tutoring programs, and a grant program that helps needy American university students.”
