Catholic Higher Education Leader Addresses Concerns Over Possible Exec. Order | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The President of Neumann University in Pennsylvania, a private Catholic university rooted in the Franciscan tradition, Dr. Chris Everett Domes, joins to talk more about the Executive Order Trump has put on hold for now, regarding the Department of Education and how it could impact the future of education. Dr. Chris shares his thoughts and discusses the pros and cons. The Department of Education was created during the Carter Administration in 1979 and, besides providing federal funding for public schools grades K through 12, also administers funding for higher education in the form of loans and grants. Dr. Chris discusses whether he is concerned that the potential dismantling of the Education Department could hurt his students' ability to continue their education or receive one. While we know Catholic schools are a tuition-based model, a number of Catholic schools do receive funding from the Education Department for things such as free or reduced lunches as well as grants for special education. Dr. Chris explains whether there is a concern that these programs may be impacted. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
