How Trump's Policies Could Affect Higher Ed Finances More Than Covid

In the article "How Trump's Policies Could Affect Higher Ed Finances More Than Covid" by Michael T. Nietzel, published on Forbes on May 18, 2025, the author discusses the potential impact of former President Donald Trump's proposed policies on higher education finances, suggesting they could be more disruptive than the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Trump's proposals include significant cuts to federal student aid programs, such as the elimination of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program and reductions in Pell Grants, which could drastically reduce the financial resources available to students and institutions. Additionally, his plans to overhaul accreditation and impose new regulations on universities could lead to increased operational costs and compliance burdens. The article highlights concerns from higher education leaders about the sustainability of colleges and universities under such policies, potentially leading to closures and reduced access to education for many students.
