Cuts in effect wipe out Institute of Education Sciences, one of the country’s largest funders of education research
Elon Musk and the Trump administration’s so-called “department of government efficiency” (Doge) has terminated nearly $1bn in US Department of Education contracts, in effect eliminating a research office that tracks US students’ progress.
After announcing $101m would be slashed from 29 DEI training grants on Monday, the Doge account on Twitter/X said that Musk’s team terminated 89 contracts worth a total of $881m on Tuesday.
