Colleges raking in millions in federal dollars hold their breath as Trump vows to shakeup US education
Fox News
President-elect Donald Trump's plan to reshape education in the U.S. raises questions over federal funding as it relates to U.S. institutions, who have amassed billions in U.S. taxpayer dollars.
The same universities, meanwhile, continued to rake in billions in U.S. taxpayer-backed federal funds. Since 2018, $33 billion of federal contracts and grants have been handed to a handful of elite universities, averaging $6.6 billion annually, an Open the Books study from last year revealed. Some universities even collected more money in federal dollars than they did in tuition payments in a single year, according to an audit done by the government watchdog.
