Work‑study ban on voter drives

The administration used a 'Dear Colleague' letter to bar use of federal work‑study funds for voter registration and related activities on campus. Because work‑study subsidizes millions of student jobs, this policy restricts a key funding channel for university‑backed get‑out‑the‑vote efforts. — It shows how executive guidance can reshape youth turnout infrastructure without new legislation, raising neutrality and election‑governance concerns.
