Earlier today, the Trump Administration released a plan that it had been developing to reorganize federal agencies.
Called “Delivering Government Solutions in the 21st Century,” the plan calls for a number of sweeping changes to a number of different federal agencies, including combining the Departments of Education and Labor into a single agency. Among the other changes being proposed is a call to move all federal Graduate Fellowships to the National Science Foundation.
This plan is the culmination of a directive issued by the White House Office of Management and Budget after Mick Mulvaney was sworn in as its director at the beginning of the Trump Administration in 2017.
Many, if not most, of the proposals called for in the plan will require Congressional approval.
We will continue to monitor developments and provide updates.
