The uncertainty of today’s job market and the bleak predictions of tomorrow’s job market have special emphasis for Black educators.

The so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” pushed through the Senate as part of a massive reconciliation package, represents one of the most aggressive federal overhauls to higher education funding in modern history. Masked behind rhetoric of “budget responsibility” and “efficiency,” the legislation systematically guts key pillars of college affordability—Pell Grants and federal student loans—placing the greatest burden on working-class families, part-time students, and graduate borrowers.

Yale University, long celebrated for its intellectual prestige and political influence, has carefully cultivated an image of moral and civic leadership. But beneath the carefully constructed brand lies a history mired in racism, elitism, secrecy, and direct complicity in acts of violence—including genocide. From its early support of settler colonialism to its modern entanglements with war profiteering and imperial policy, Yale has not simply been a passive observer of atrocity, but in many cases

Framed as a “Big, Beautiful” plan to restore fiscal discipline and American greatness, the legislation guts the very pillars of U.S. national power: public education, scientific research, clean energy innovation, and social stability.
