The Trump administration on Monday announced plans to shift $500 million in new funding to historically black colleges and universities and tribal colleges, while cutting other education programs to cover the costs.
The changes, reported by The New York Times, also include $137 million for American history and civics education and $60 million for charter schools. The administration has requested a 15 percent budget reduction for the Department of Education next year, as President Donald Trump has pushed to close the agency altogether.
