Really hope DPSCS makes good on its promise to listen to and protect these vulnerable citizens - especially now
Maryland inches toward reforming trans prisoner policies as it pays out legal settlements
Trans prisoners secure legal settlements as Maryland struggles to adapt its policies
Trans prisoners make up a fraction of Maryland’s incarcerated population, but nearly half of its settlement payouts last year. Efforts to reform policy have been slow.

I’m glad to hear this but I’m no less worried. Pell grants in particular could easily be reviewed and judged as DEI funding as could funding for Head Start and other vital services meant to increase access. The memo protects none of these.
NEW: The federal spending pause does not affect federal direct student loans, Pell Grants or federal work-study funds for campus jobs (thanks to those of you who prompted me on that last one).
