...could lose its funding under this administration if this proposal is finalized.
This would apply not just to federal K-12 and college and university programs, but to all discretionary funding received by those institutions and by nonprofits that serve our communities and receive federal grants.
To add insult to injury, it will also have a chilling effect on schools, districts, and colleges as they try to balance what they believe is best for students, with which programs could be targeted for being contrary to the current administration’s values.
We have already seen many institutions drop critically needed programs and instruction in response to similar threats to federal funding.
Before the rule takes effect, the administration must solicit and respond to comments from the public—that's you.
Please share how federal funding supports your students, school, campus, or community and why stable funding matters. You have until July 13 to act.
We give you a sample to adapt, but the more personalized your public comment is, the better.
Educators need stability so they can focus on teaching and supporting students, NOT navigating politically motivated requirements.
And, students deserve stable access to the programs and services that help them learn and thrive.
Federal funding should serve students, not politics.
In solidarity,
