Education Partial Announced
Job Corps shutdown paused by court after closure announcement
99 centers, ~25,000 students
Original action
The Department of Labor announced a 'pause' suspending Job Corps operations, with all 99 contractor-run centers slated to close by June 30.
- Department of Labor
- Job Corps
Reversal
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking the shutdown, finding DOL lacked authority to terminate the congressionally funded program; a later order kept the 99 centers open.
- Mechanism: court-forced
Notes
Court-forced reversal; the Supreme Court's later limits on nationwide injunctions added uncertainty, and some centers had already begun closing.
