According to a new report, a secretive office created by the Obama administration in the Department of Education and revived by the Biden administration made repeated attempts to shut down non-woke universities and colleges — and roughly 70% of the enforcement efforts were made against Christian colleges and career schools.
In 2023, the Biden administration increased the budget of the Department of Education’s Office of Enforcement — a subsidiary of the department’s Office of Federal Student Aid — by a massive 600% and asked for another 230% increase this year.
“After being ‘deprioritized’ under the Trump-Pence administration, the Student Aid Enforcement Unit was ‘restored’ by the Biden-Harris Department of Education in October 2021 under a new moniker, the Office of Enforcement,
“Enrollment at faith-based schools grew 82% between 1980 and 2020, about 44 percent faster than the national average,” the American Principles Project noted in its report.
“At least 12 Christian colleges have been the target of excessive penalties or banned from receiving federal student aid; by comparison, no Ivy League school has been the recipient of punitive action by the Office of Enforcement,” the report asserted.
Vice President Kamala Harris “ambushed Corinthian (Colleges) while she was California Attorney General,” The Wall Street Journal wrote in June 2022. “She began investigating the for-profit in 2013 for allegedly misrepresenting job-placement rates, but she struggled to support her claims. The Education Department rode to her rescue by making exhaustive document demands.”
“Obama Administration officials then complained the college wasn’t producing documents fast enough, and the Education Department cut off federal student aid. This drove Corinthian into bankruptcy and stranded tens of thousands of Corinthian students,” the Journal continued.
APP Policy Director Jon Schweppe wrote, “The Office of Enforcement has been formed into a weapon to single out and penalize schools that the administration disfavors. Once focused primarily on career colleges, the Department of Education has now turned the Office of Enforcement on Christian colleges and universities, which threatens to have the same disastrous effects.”
