Tomorrow at 10:15 a.m., the Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Development, chaired by Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT), will hold a hearing titled “Breaking the System Part II: Examining the Implications of Biden’s Student Loan Policies for Students and Taxpayers.”

“During the first hearing in this series on the impact of President Biden’s free college agenda, my colleagues and I outlined the costs and consequences of the president’s student loan debt transfer scheme,” said Chair Owens. “America’s college financing system needs fixing but illegal bailouts and executive overreach by the Biden administration will all but ensure it is broken beyond repair. During part two of our hearing, we will continue to hold President Biden and the Department of Education accountable for their devastating agenda that will saddle future generations with other’s debt and exacerbate the failures of a broken system at the expense of students and taxpayers.”
