DOGE cuts $900 million from agency that tracks American students’ academic progress
The HinduA federal research agency that tracks the progress of America’s students is being hit with almost $900 million in cuts after Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency found no need for much of its work. It’s unclear to what degree the Education Department’s Institute of Education Sciences will continue to exist after Mr. Musk’s team slashed scores of contracts. Mr. Musk’s grip on the Education Department was dealt a setback Tuesday when the agency agreed to temporarily block DOGE workers from more than a dozen internal systems containing sensitive information. In response to questions, Biedermann referred to a social media post from DOGE that said Mr. Musk's team had terminated 89 contracts worth $881 million, including $1.5 million to a contractor hired to “observe mailing and clerical operations” at a mail center.
