WASHINGTON – Tomorrow, at 10:15 a.m., the Committee on Education and the Workforce, chaired by Virginia Foxx (R-NC), will hold a full Committee hearing titled “Examining the Education Department’s Policies, Priorities, and FY 2023 Financial Audit Failure.” Secretary Miguel Cardona will testify at the hearing.

“I’m greatly disappointed by Secretary Cardona’s leadership of the Department of Education and his willingness to toe the line for the Biden administration’s disdain for the Constitution. We’ve watched as the Department has advanced the President’s illegal ‘free’ college agenda, botched the FAFSA rollout and return to repayment, implemented radical changes to Title IX, and failed to combat antisemitism and foreign influence in any significant way,” said Chairwoman Virginia Foxx. “Yet, with this abysmal track record, including the Department failing its financial audits for fiscal years 2022 and 2023, Secretary Cardona has requested billions more in taxpayer dollars. Taxpayers have reached their limit, Mr. Secretary. This hearing gives the Committee an opportunity to hold Secretary Cardona accountable for his partisan agenda and regulatory overreach.”
