Too many colleges and universities are accelerating staffing of DEI "experts," even paying some $300,000+, crowding out money from other vital departments all while tuition skyrockets.

America is about merit, competency, and character -- not DEI.

Low-value programs and sky-high tuitions is a bad combination for college students looking to hit the ground running in the workforce after they finish their degree.

Students paid a steep and invisible price for drawn-out pandemic school closures.

An entire generation spent over a year isolated from their classmates and peers, which fomented the mental health crisis K-12 students are still recovering from.

07/27/2023

Many college students are walking off the commencement stage worse off financially than if they had never enrolled in the first place.

Congressman Burgess Owens is leading a hearing today on how we can restore the value of a college degree.

Hint: accountability is key.

Pell Grants should be expanded to short-term education programs to meet the skills-based needs of today's workforce. The PELL Act will avoid a complex system of red tape and allow all education providers to come to the table to deliver skills education.
