Trump’s next plan for the US education system: Lots and lots of rules
President Donald Trump disrupted universities and school districts in 2025 through sheer executive muscle. Now comes the harder part: making sure his policies outlast his presidency.
Trump signed a dizzying number of education-related executive orders — spanning from diversity initiatives to college oversight — launched a barrage of civil rights investigations into schools, froze billions in federal research cash and started his long-promised dismantling of the Education Department.
His actions were designed to pressure schools into adopting policies that align with his political agenda, bolster parental rights and give states more control over their schools. In many ways, the moves worked: Some schools responded by eliminating diversity programs, barring transgender students from women’s sports and striking unprecedented deals with the White House hoping to get their federal research cash flowing again.
Trump’s actions have left school leaders feeling shaky about their relationships with Washington in a way conservatives have wanted for decades. But many educators are fighting back in court, and Trump’s focus on using executive actions leaves a lot of his education legacy at the whims of the next president. To make lasting changes, Trump’s next move will be to make his policies harder to unravel.
“This has been a year of enforcement through investigation,” said Bob Eitel, who served as former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ senior counsel and is now president of the Defense of Freedom Institute, a conservative think tank. "Next year will be the year of rulemaking."
Even though Trump has three more years in his second term, he is actually short on time to make that happen because writing regulations is often long, detailed and painstaking work. It’s the type of labor that would have been done by the career employees he spent months pushing out of their jobs.
That has left some former Education Department officials skeptical that the administration will be able to deliver on its robust rulemaking agenda to enshrine Trump’s trans student restrictions and its efforts to investigate campus antisemitism, root out diversity programs and overhaul the college oversight system.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon has halved the agency’s workforce. And the GOP’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act directed officials to finalize rules on a number of student loan policies on tight deadlines next year.
The Trump administration is also facing a midterm election that could change the make-up of Congress, which is being led by Republicans generally supportive of the president’s education agenda — even if wary of specific elements of it.
“The regulatory calendar can get so burdened up that it nearly stops working,” said Ted Mitchell, who served as Education undersecretary under the Obama administration and is now president of the American Council on Education.
“That’s probably doubly true in a depleted Education Department, where there are fewer people to just do the work,” he added. “I think that we're going to face a regulatory logjam that will take us well into the midterms, and then midterms will define the course for the next two years.”
White House spokesperson Liz Huston said in a statement that the Education Department “has failed American students, parents, and teachers for decades, and President Trump is making lasting changes to improve educational outcomes.”
Turning Trump’s probes into policy
Trump’s torrent of investigations has been impossible to ignore, with administration officials bringing the full weight of the federal government to bear in probing schools nationwide.
