trump education department scotus layoffs student loans.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon is expected to move quickly now that the Supreme Court has cleared the way for the Trump administration to continue unwinding her department. Monday’s ruling allows the department to move ahead with mass layoffs and a plan to outsource work to other federal agencies. Lawyers from the department have already previewed next steps in court filings. In March, Trump suggested the Small Business Administration would take on federal student loans. But a court filing in June indicated the Treasury Department is expected to take over the work. The department had also recently struck a deal to outsource workforce training and adult education to the Department of Labor.
