UAW 4811 Statement on Cuts to Department of Education

The Trump administration’s effort to dismantle the Department of Education and shut down IES grant funding will harm public education, and it represents another attempt to dismantle public goods to suit a billionaire agenda. UC academic workers use DoEd funding to do important research on our educational system and the damage done to it by COVID-19. Cutting it threatens to hobble our ability to repair that damage. The administration must restore DoEd funding and cease its attempts to destroy public education.
