Trump administrator ends taxpayers for student political work on campuses

The Trump administration prohibited the former president of President Biden-Ere on Tuesday, which enabled the federal programs funded by taxpayers to pay students to engage in certain political activities on university campuses.

The Department of Education has published updated advice in a press release which indicated that federal work study funds (FWS) “should focus on jobs that offer real world work experience rather than political activities”.

“The federal study at work is supposed to offer students the possibility of acquiring real world experience which prepares them to succeed in the labor market, and not as a means of finance political activism on our university and university campuses,” the under-secretary for education Nicholas Kent said in a press release.

Kent said that American taxpayers would no longer finance the workers of the elections, the hot lines of the voters or the political rallies on the campus – and will not oblige schools to ask students to register to vote if they know that students are not eligible, like foreign students.

The ministry also requested that educational establishments remind students of the laws on federal voting, in particular: only American citizens can vote in the federal elections; Voting more than once or in several states is illegal; Falsification of information on registration is a federal crime; And voters can only register where they are legally domiciled.

Updated directives are involved in response to President Donald Trump’s executive decree entitled “Protect the integrity of the US elections”.
