Grades of F overall, and in each of five specific areas with active hot-button issues, were given by a North Carolina congresswoman chairing a committee hearing with Education Department Secretary Miguel Cardona.
The chairwoman of the Committee on Education and Workforce in the U.S. House of Representatives, in roughly eight minutes, gave description of ineptitude and failing for both K-12 and post-secondary education.
Education is done best when it is handled at the local level.
Regarding Title IX, Cardona said, "Federal rules trump state rules and it's unacceptable for leaders to pick and choose which students they choose to protect." The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is a form completed to determine eligibility for student financial aid.
" Foxx said Cardona's department, despite warnings, managed "to bungle" both the rollout of FAFSA simplification and the student loan return to repayment.
FAFSA completion rates have fallen 30% nationally, with declines likely higher among low-income students.
"Attending college is one of the most consequential choices that some may ever make. For some students with very limited means, who depend on the FAFSA, that choice has been denied to them. Some will inevitably put education on the back burner for life. That is what troubles me the most about this. May 1 should have been college decision day. But instead, students are still stuck waiting for financial information paralyzed by your ineptitude."
