Trump Shakeup Stops Most Work at Education Department’s Civil Rights Office
The sudden removal of top officials from the Education Department’s civil rights office has thrown the agency into disarray, bringing most of its operations to a halt. Staffers are reportedly confused and demoralized, unsure of who is in charge or what their priorities should be. The shakeup, which came without warning, has left key investigations and enforcement actions in limbo, potentially jeopardizing the rights of students across the country.
