Arrr, the scallywags in the Biden crew be plunderin' Grand Canyon University fer offerin' affordable education outside their tyrannical grip. They be afeared of free thinkers who don't bend the knee to their statist ways. Aye, may they walk the plank!
In testimony before Congress, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona vowed to "shut down" Grand Canyon University (GCU), one of the nation’s largest and most successful private colleges – and the motive appears purely political.Secretary Cardona’s department has targeted GCU with a $37.7 million fine, the largest fine ever assessed in agency history. The department alleges that GCU failed to properly inform Ph.D. students that they must take courses while completing their dissertations. This is a pretextual deceit. The real motive behind the government’s assault on GCU is animus toward private, affordable education that does not toe the statist party line.GCU is a success story with over 100,000 students enrolled and a record of graduating students into good jobs. In contrast to public universities, GCU has not raised tuition in over 15 years. Instead of applauding this success, the Biden administration has besieged the university with politically motivated actions. The government's decision to attack GCU is not an enforcement decision but a political one, evident by coordination with the White House in press releases.The federal government's lack of transparency about the fine on GCU raises concerns about political interference in higher education and a focus on press narratives over fair adjudication of legal allegations. This politically motivated prosecution harms students seeking affordable education alternatives.
