OPINION:
For years, misaligned federal regulations have warped higher education by prioritizing political interests over students’ success.
Under the Obama and Biden administrations, bureaucrats turned higher education policy into an anticompetitive weapon, using the federal rule book to crush school choice, limit consumer options and protect the traditional college cartel from meaningful competition.
That is why the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee should swiftly advance Sen. Jim Banks’ legislation to repeal the Department of Education’s egregious 90/10 rule.
