WASHINGTON House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman John Kline (R-MN) and Higher Education and Workforce Training Subcommittee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) issued the following statement in response to two higher education regulations the administration finalized earlier today:
Today’s announcement continues the administration’s pattern of micromanaging higher education through the regulatory process. Neither proposal solves the underlying problems that need to be addressed. In fact, the department has made some of our higher education challenges worse. As we have seen over the last six years, piling more federal programs and regulations on top of a broken higher education system is not in the best interests of students, families, taxpayers, and institutions. The best way to improve higher education is to improve the law, and that is precisely what we remain committed to.
