Education Department proposes rule to cancel grants 'for convenience'

The U.S. Department of Education proposed a rule on Aug. 24 that would let it cancel grants "for convenience" when they no longer align with agency priorities [1]. The proposed language spells out authority to end grants for reasons other than noncompliance or administrative problems, and all federal agencies have held discretion in this area [1]. Separately, the American Bar Association's accreditation council voted on Aug. 21 to remove or scale back three diversity requirements, the same day the department recommended stripping the council of its federal recognition [2].
