When a tool does the thinking, real learning disappears.

Every college programme will now be evaluated against graduates' earnings data. Programmes that produce median earnings below the high school graduate wage could lose eligibility for federal student loans. At the same time, the same Department is investing $169 million in AI education. Cuts and investment are happening simultaneously — and the paradox reveals a great deal about where American higher education is heading.
