Nearly 70% of Biden administration's education enforcement targeted Christian and career colleges, according to a new report.

Nearly 70% of enforcement actions carried out by the Education Department under the Biden administration were directed at faith-based and career schools, according to a report.

The American Principles Project (APP) published a press release stating that they analyzed new data and found that almost 70% of the Department of Education's (ED) enforcement actions targeted faith-based and career schools, despite these schools accounting for less than 10% of US students.

For the past four years, the Democrats have been utilizing every aspect of the federal government to attack their political adversaries, as stated by APP Policy Director Jon Schweppe.

We should not overlook corrupt efforts in other agencies, as major assaults from the Department of Justice have dominated headlines, according to Schweppe.

"The Biden-Harris Department of Education has been unfairly targeting Christian colleges that oppose the left's agenda for a long time. This needs to stop immediately, as detailed in our report."

The ED scrutinized two of the country's top Christian universities, Grand Canyon University and Liberty University, and imposed record-breaking fines worth more than all penalties imposed over the past seven years combined, including those on Penn State ($2.4 million) and Michigan State ($4.5 million) for Jerry Sandusky and Larry Nassar's sexual crimes.

The Arizona-based institution, GCU, is currently facing a challenge in appealing the $37.7 million fine imposed by the ED in November 2020 for allegations that the institution misled students about the cost of its doctoral programs over several years.

In April, Miguel Cardona, the Department of Education Secretary, pledged to close GCU during a House Appropriations Committee hearing, stating that "predatory schools" are "exploiting first-generation students."

At least 12 Christian colleges have faced excessive penalties or lost federal student aid, while no Ivy League school has received punitive action from the Office of Enforcement.

"Public and private institutions were fined an average of $228,571 for Clery Act violations, while Christian schools were fined $815,000 on average."

GCU has secured a legal victory against the ED in its bid for non-profit recognition, despite earlier denial by the ED.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals determined that the ED applied an incorrect standard to determine the university's nonprofit status.

The case is now being remanded back to ED.

The department spokesperson stated that a school's religious affiliation or non-profit status does not affect their oversight and enforcement actions.

The spokesperson stated that the safety and academic opportunities of all students at institutions of higher education are their top priority. However, the data in the APP report falsely portrays information released publicly by the Department.
