Arizona lawmakers urge the Trump administration to restore federal support for college readiness programs benefiting low-income students.
Quiver AI Summary
Arizona Representatives Yassamin Ansari and Greg Stanton, alongside Senators Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego, have urged the Trump administration to reconsider its cancellation of federal grants for college readiness programs at Pima Community College. They expressed concern that the loss of funding would negatively affect low-income and first-generation students' access to higher education.
In a letter to Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, the lawmakers highlighted the importance of the TRIO Upward Bound program, which assists disadvantaged students. The revocation of these grants was deemed abrupt, with the college citing no prior performance issues or explanations from the department.
They emphasized that the program has historically improved college graduation rates among participants and called for a thorough review of the appeal submitted by Pima Community College to restore support for such educational initiatives across Arizona.
