Biden Admin Is Placing Undercover Federal Agents At Universities. Here’s Why

The Enforcement Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA) will use undercover officials to monitor colleges and universities for misleading or predatory practices, the Department of Education announced on Tuesday.
The officials will identify any “misrepresentations” in several factors advertised to students including “transferability of credits, job placement rates, completion and withdrawal rates, graduates’ future earning potential, career services, the cost of attendance, the amount of federal student aid, and accreditation status.”
“We support reasonable practices that hold all institutions accountable for misrepresentations that financially harm students and taxpayers; however, the federal government has a track record of using secret shopper investigations to malign politically unfavored institutions with distorted findings that later result in the need for public correction,” Nicholas Kent, Career Education Colleges and Universities chief policy officer, wrote in response to Tuesday’s announcement.
