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.
