Description: Nearly half of the Department of Education's workforce is being laid off – from more than 4,100 workers to about 2,200. The DOE says these cuts will not impact enforcement of non-discrimination policies and distribution of federal aid, but some worry the agency will have trouble with day-to-day operations.
