Federal Policy Shifts Disrupt Denver Public Schools and Boston Area Colleges
Published on 4.8.25
The recent developments in federal education policies are having a significant impact on educational institutions across the country. In Colorado, Denver Public Schools are facing potential cuts to their $800 million annual budget due to changes in diversity and equity policies proposed by former President Trump.
In Massachusetts, several colleges have been affected by the revocation of student status for international students. Emerson College, Berklee College of Music, and Boston University are among those impacted, with no explanation provided by the federal government. According to a spokesperson for Berklee College of Music, this is not an isolated incident, as multiple institutions in the Boston area have experienced similar terminations.
The lack of transparency from the federal government has left international students feeling unsettled and uncertain about their future. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how this will affect individual students and the broader educational landscape in the US.
