Colleges and universities are increasingly using AI to enhance cybersecurity as cyberthreats become more sophisticated. AI is being used for proactive threat detection, identifying unusual behaviors and isolating potential threats before they spread. The adoption of Zero Trust security models has become a major trend, ensuring that no one is granted default access. Institutions are also scrutinizing third-party vendors more closely to mitigate risks from external partners.

The Trump administration has announced a plan to transfer significant management of the federal student loan portfolio from the Education Department to the Treasury Department.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon says the transition will be seamless for borrowers, though critics argue the administration lacks the authority to carry out such a transfer.
