Case Overview

The Association for Education Finance and Policy sued the Department of Education over actions taken to dismantle the Institute of Educational Sciences, including the cancellations of grants and the mass termination of employees.


The Application

History

The plaintiff challenges whether the Department's decision to terminate the Institute, cancel grants, and terminate employees complies with applicable statutory authority, whether proper notice-and-comment procedures were followed, and whether the agency provided rational explanation for these actions.

The Conclusion

The case remains active in federal district court with no determination on the merits; Judge McFadden has not yet ruled on the plaintiff's Administrative Procedure Act challenges to the agency's actions.
