House Republicans Propose Budget Cuts for Education Department

House Republicans want to keep funding flat for the Pell Grant program and the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights in fiscal year 2025 while slashing the budget for the Office of Federal Student Aid. Those are among other cuts rolled out in a spending plan released Wednesday. The Labor–Health and Human Services appropriations subcommittee will meet this morning to review the legislation, which also includes the budgets for the Departments of Labor and Health and Human Services.
