Key Points

This bill, introduced by Representative Biggs, would require the Department of Education to shut down the Office of Enforcement within the Federal Student Aid program.
The Office of Enforcement was created in 2021 to investigate colleges and universities for potential fraud, cheating students, or breaking federal rules.
If passed, the Department of Education would no longer have this specific division dedicated to monitoring and punishing schools that break the law regarding student loans and grants.
The change would remove a layer of federal oversight intended to protect students and taxpayers from schools that might provide a poor education or use dishonest advertising.
