"Linda McMahon Leaves SBA, Takes Education Department Role Amid Controversy"

Recent developments reveal that Linda McMahon is no longer the Administrator of the Small Business Administration. Instead, she currently serves as the Secretary of the U S Department of Education, with her appointment effective as of March 2025. According to Paul Hastings, Kelly Loeffler became the Administrator of the Small Business Administration in February 2025, succeeding McMahon in that role. This key transition means that Linda McMahon has not made news or taken actions regarding the Small Business Administration in the past few days. However, Linda McMahon has been involved in significant controversy in her role at the Department of Education. The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities reports that on September fifteenth the Department of Education, under Linda McMahon’s leadership, announced a one-time four hundred ninety-five million dollar investment for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities. The funding comes from the cancellation and reallocation of resources previously directed to other discretionary grant programs. The department refrained from naming the specific grants that would lose their funding, but several sources suggest that programs such as Titles Three and Five, Teacher Quality Partnerships, international education initiatives, TRIO, and Child Care Access Means Parents in School have been affected. The department’s unilateral move to reprogram funds and cut established programs sparked strong objections from a bipartisan group of senior appropriations leaders in Congress. These lawmakers expressed serious concern about the lack of transparency and the bypassing of congressional authority in decisions that affect higher education funding. The institutions that previously received these grants reported cancellations, delays in funding, or no-cost extensions in the past several weeks. There are no headlines or major decisions attributed to Linda McMahon regarding the Small Business Administration in this period. Listeners should know that news coverage has shifted to her controversial role at the Department of Education, as current actions and decisions about small business policy are now the responsibility of Kelly Loeffler.
