Grand Canyon University ( GCU), the largest Christian university in the United States, was to be shut down after Department of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona vowed to do so. S. GCU officials are retaliating, telling Fox News Digital that the crackdown is a result of “deeply held partiality.” ”
A GCU spokeswoman told Fox News Digital that in response to Cardona’s suggestion to shut down universities like GCU, “officials continue to make disparaging and aggressive public statements that are officially and technically incorrect and never shared by any of the other 26 regulation and accrediting bodies that monitor GCU.” ”
The Secretary’s statements to the House Appropriations Committee were so careless that GCU is requesting an instant correction because they do not represent the facts of this case. He is both confused, misinformed or does not know the actions taken by his own company, ” the spokesperson added.
GCU president’s earlier statements to Fox News Digital about being unfairly targeted were originally expressed. ”
Brian Mueller, chairman of Grand Canyon University, explained to FOX News Digital in October why he thinks the office is taking advantage of the school.
During a hearing before the House Appropriations Committee on April 10, Carolyn made remarks about the GCU and other similar institutions.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn. asked Cardona how the management was attempting to stop GCU, which she described as a “prisoner-for-profit institution.” ”
Dona freely admitted to supporting their police strategies, saying that the goal is to” shut them down” as well as to send a message to students to stop preying on them. ”
Your Department took legal action against Grand Canyon University, a predatory for-profit college, last year over the failure of the school to effectively disclose its costs to individuals, increasing the true value for those individuals by requiring them to pay for continuation training before graduating, DeLauro said. Scam training added$ 10,000 or more to the cost of these individuals ‘ training, DeLauro said.
Going after aggressive institutions that target first-generation students. Although they have attractive advertising materials, the finished product is certainly worth the paper it is printed on. increased the amount of money spent on police to pursue these individuals. largest good ever levied against a school that lied about fees and revoked Title IV from a university. We are cracking down not only to shut them down, but to send a message not to prey on students, ” Cardona responded.
GCU appealed a$ 37. The office imposed a$ 7 million fine in November on claims that the Arizona-based higher learning institution fabricated data about the cost of its graduate applications over a number of years.
