U.S. Education Department

Indiana GEAR UP, a Purdue-run college-prep program for more than 13,000 low-income students, will end Sept. 30 after the U.S. Education Department canceled its $35 million grant.

Indiana is expected to receive roughly $100 million in grants to fund a wide range of education programs, including migrant education, services for English language learners and adult education.

The U.S. Education Department's Office for Civil Rights investigates discrimination in schools. It recently lost more than 40% of its staff.

"I support President Trumps bold action to return education to where it belongs and to put parents in the drivers seat of their children's education," Indiana Gov. Mike Braun said.

The Trump administration has already moved to cut the Department of Education's staff by nearly half.

The schools under scrutiny also include dozens of state schools and two Ivy Leagues.

More than 1,300 positions will be cut as a result of this reduction in force. Roughly another 600 employees have accepted voluntary resignations or retired.
