A U.S. federal judge has ruled to block hundreds of layoffs by the Trump administration across several government agencies, stating the moves violated a law tied to ending the recent 43-day government shutdown. Judge Susan Illston said the State and Education departments must halt planned job cuts, while ordering reinstatement of about 300 workers already let go. The ruling, which favors unions challenging the cuts, underscores legal limits on government downsizing during funding disputes. The Justice Department is expected to appeal Illston’s order.

Starting this month, prospective students applying for federal financial aid at 132 California colleges will encounter a new warning label regarding alumni earnings. This label indicates that graduates from these institutions earn less than those with only a high school diploma four years post-graduation. The U.S. Department of Education introduced these “lower earnings” alerts primarily targeting for-profit colleges, including beauty and trade schools. In California, these flagged schools enrolled over 80,000 students and received substantial federal funding. U.S. Under Secretary of Education Nicholas Kent stated that the alerts aim to help students make informed decisions without restricting their options. While the alerts do not impose immediate penalties, they signal upcoming legislation that may revoke federal loan eligibility for programs failing to demonstrate increased earnings for graduates.
