That's the problem with federal departments and agencies. Too many people are afraid to point out they're useless.

So, because you don't know what it does, it shouldn't exist? How about researching that first? Congress passes a lot of ecducaiotn related laws and DoE implements those laws.

https://www.ed.gov/about/ed-offices/oese/offices-programs-by-office

Of local interest, DoE:
awards grant to fund your local magnet school programs;
supports charter school programs;
funds school vouchers in DC, which impacts DC kids and DC private school budgets;
awards grants for school construction;
funds education for children of members of the uniformed services;
funds school emergency management, like school shooter preparedness;
grants for educating homeless children and youths;
grants for school infrastructure
funds research into developing early education and early intervention programs;

...and so on.

That authority would move back to the Treasury Department.

Also closing DOE entirely would require a supermajority of 60 senators, meaning some Dems would need to join all the Reps, which is unlikely to happen.

I have a feeling I know who you voted for. If you think they would go this far to shutter the DOE just for the services to be performed by another department, I have a bridge to sell you. They want less children in college, especially poor ones.

College is woke. All use the same bathroom at college. Stay away.

Isn’t that a good thing? If the files are gone, isn’t the loan gone too?

And then what? You can't say that without explaining.
Are the loans discharged?

It is all unclear. Like USAID, much of this money has already been appropriated by Congress and there needs to be some sort of administrative structure in place to disburse it, whether it is called the Department of Education or the Musk Agency of Megalomania.

The PP can say whatever they want because they are making it up. "From a good source" = classic trolling

I know I'm concerned. The publics might tank aren't most students on pell grants.

Pell numbers will stay where they are. US News rankings weigh Pell heavily, one of the reasons why some publics moved up over the last few years as US News tweaked its methodology.

Pell isn't going away.

There is no way that the methodology isn’t going to change again now . The Pell and first gen factors are relatively new.

First gen was removed from US News methodology for 2024. Two items related to first gen were 2.5% of the 2023 methodology.

They could increase the amount since they can change any of the data...

Hello MAGA

Hi there. Not MAGA, never voted for Trump. I'm guessing you can't think of an answer.

Neither can you, apparently. Not because it doesn't exist. You're not bothering to Google it, so it's likely that type of lazy thinking = MAGA.

Hello to you, MAGA!

That's the problem with Musk. Too many people are afraid to point out he is evil.

Fixed that for you, PP!
