Washington Times Presents the Biden-Harris Admin's Higher Ed Harassment

Welcome back to another edition of Higher Ed on the Hill, where we break down the top issues facing higher education policy. On the chopping block today – the Biden-Harris Department of Education.

The Biden-Harris administration has routinely used the DoEd to advance its political bias against career colleges via their Enforcement Office, utilizing unprecedented fines and litigation kill schools that offer real education opportunities.

Sponsored by CASE, the Washington Times published Higher Ed Harassment: Is the Education Department Overreach Harming America’s College Students? – breaking down the Enforcement Office’s unfair and unjust actions, antisemitism on campus, FAFSA, and more. The section also features some of our nation’s most prominent education voices, including Chairwoman Virginia Foxx.

Check out CASE’s opinions here and see below for a full recap of the WT’s special section:
