Press Releases

 Today, Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) issued the following statement on the Trump administration’s announcement on ending funding to higher education institutions based on the racial makeup of their student populations:

“Today’s announcement is a strong step by the Trump administration to end racial discrimination in our higher education system. These programs determine funding eligibility through arbitrary, race-based quotas which unfairly assume a student’s background determines his or her educational destiny. America was founded on the principles of freedom and equality, and that every citizen can chase the American Dream. In Congress, we are working with the Trump administration to create a fairer higher education system so every student has a strong chance at success.”
