Foxx: ED’s Partisan Witch Hunt Falls Far Short of What Students and Taxpayers Deserve

WASHINGTON, D.C., September 27, 2023

Today, Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) issued the following statement castigating the Department of Education’s issuance of a final rule that presses a thumb down on career schools across America: 

“For an agency that purports to serve the needs of veterans, minorities, and other disadvantaged students, the Department’s announcement today is steeped in hypocrisy. It has proven time and again that it would rather march to the beat of its own bureaucratic drum than work to foster both accountability and transparency in postsecondary education. Unfortunately, that means attacking proprietary institutions through flawed and arbitrary regulations while giving a pass to the thousands of low-value programs at institutions serving the vast majority of students.”
