The Application
The plaintiff states argue the 50% reduction would disable the Department's core operations including Title I funding distribution, special education services, civil rights enforcement, and student loan administration; the government asserts broad executive authority to restructure internal operations.
The Conclusion
The case is active pending judicial determination of whether the proposed reduction violates Administrative Procedure Act requirements or exceeds the Secretary's statutory authority to reorganize without impairing mandatory departmental functions.
