Congressman Biggs Urges Education Committee to Investigate Excessive Fines Against Christian Universities

Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) sent a letter to House Education and Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) encouraging her to hold a hearing to investigate the Biden-Harris Department of Education's (ED) targeting of Christian universities. Under Secretary Miguel Cardona's leadership, ED has exhibited a concerning pattern of levying outrageous fines against Christian universities such as Grand Canyon University (GCU), Liberty University (LU), and Ashland University (AU).

In April of this year, Secretary Cardona openly discussed his desire to shut down GCU-the nation's largest Christian university-with Members of the House Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies.

"Congress can no longer sit idly by while the Biden-Harris Administration's weaponized federal government targets conservative and Christian organizations," said Congressman Biggs.

"The ED's unchecked bureaucratic power must be reined in through congressional oversight. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Chairwoman Foxx to hold this Administration accountable."

Cosigners of this letter are: Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), and Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ).
