NACAC is adamantly opposed to the dismantling of the Department of Education. The Department of Education plays a critical role in supporting states, students, and families. Given the complexity of America’s educational landscape, including the interstate nature of postsecondary education and the enforcement of federal civil rights laws and laws protecting students with disabilities, a centralized federal agency is essential. The need led to the establishment of the ED as a cabinet-level agency. To fulfill #NACAC’s vision of making postsecondary education accessible to all who seek it, we must strengthen, not weaken, our national support for education. Contact your representatives to tell them “Do not abandon our national commitment to education.” https://ow.ly/1oIh50VlUCS
