How Trump’s win could erode Biden’s higher education agenda

Donald Trump’s sweeping election victory likely signals the undoing of much of President Joe Biden’s efforts to overhaul higher education in the U.S.

In his years at the helm of the federal government, Biden approved billions of dollars in student loan forgiveness, cracked down on colleges that rip students off and worked to codify new protections for LGBTQ+ students. Those efforts – some of which sparked controversies and brought setbacks – are among the key Democratic priorities that Trump’s win threatens.

The rhetoric of the former president on the campaign trail, and his actions while in office, offer ample evidence of his goals. He spent much of his first term dismantling higher education regulations set by former President Barack Obama, who was unusually hawkish on college oversight.
