Education Department Asks Fired Employees to Return
Due to a backlog of school discrimination cases, the Department of Education has requested that hundreds of employees who were laid off months ago temporarily return to work. The agency’s Office for Civil Rights has been significantly reduced, prompting the need to utilize all available resources to address the rising caseload. The directive, outlined in a December 5th email, calls for approximately 250 workers who are currently on administrative leave to assist. Although the department is facing persistent legal challenges, they will utilize all employees currently being compensated by American taxpayers.
