On April 8, 2025, US Secretary of Education Linda McMahon will give a fireside chat at ASU+GSV, an edtech conference held in San Diego, California.
President Trump has tasked McMahon with dismantling the federal agency that oversees federally funded K-12 and higher education programs. In less than two weeks she has done just that.
Half of ED's staff have already been fired or taken a payout, and the $1.7T student loan portfolio is likely to be transferred to the US Treasury.
There is no word yet on whether there will be demonstrators at the conference, but we expect some form of vocal nonviolent resistance. AFT President Randi Weingarten is also scheduled to appear.
