Trump’s presidential term could bring sweeping changes to financial aid, impact UC research funding and eliminate protections for LGBTQ+ and undocumented students.
California's schools, colleges and universities are girding for potentially sweeping changes under a new Trump administration, based on his starkly different vision for education gleaned from campaign pledges, the GOP platform and his past actions. Trump and conservative allies could reduce federal financial aid, privatize student loans and end student loan forgiveness.
The UC system is the largest recipient of federally sponsored research — $3.8 billion last year — among U.S. higher education institutions. Congress cut funding last year to the National Science Foundation by almost half a billion dollars, and some Republican lawmakers have proposed tying federal research grants to unrelated issues, such as campus action against antisemitism.
