This bill would transfer approximately 20 higher education programs from the Department of Education to the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration. The programs being moved include support for historically Black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, the Federal TRIO Programs, and initiatives supporting students with disabilities, veterans, and migrant farmworkers. Additionally, the bill would eliminate four education programs entirely: the Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership Program, the Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship Program, the College Access Challenge Grant Program, and Project Grad. The transfer would take effect six months after enactment, with the Office of Management and Budget overseeing the transition and ensuring no net increase in federal employees. All existing grants, contracts, and pending applications would continue under the Department of Labor without interruption.
