A group of educational organizations, including researchers, data scientists, and school staff, has sued the Trump administration for dismantling the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). IES was established under the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 to produce and disseminate education research for parents, educators, and policymakers about education in America. The plaintiffs argue that the administration has unlawfully terminated congressionally-mandated IES funds, in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act and the separation of powers.
