cutting aid to the region will only increase the drivers and will be even more costly to deal with our border
the company obviously gambled in thinking they could win that job action, and they badly miscalculated.
the Strength in Diversity Act, which my friend Congresswoman Fudge--would open the door to expanding those resources
One place where I would argue there was some progress was referred to by Professor Brittain in his remarks...
If the Federal Government were to step in and really provide a new infusion of resources, I mean that would really turbo charge and jump start, you know, these models that we know are actually working
if we had programs which, again, we are able to diversify student bodies, I think frankly you would see improvement all across the board.
the OIG found 61 percent noncompliance by loan servicers in most basic functions
Again just for the record, the OIG found 61 percent noncompliance by loan servicers in most basic functions
So I want to ask, given the fact that State law enforcement has had a spectacular record of success in terms of getting restitution for student borrowers...
So again, Mr. COURTNEY. I would ask unanimous consent to enter a memo sent by the Department to all loan servicers into the record.
Well, again, you are certainly not working with us in terms of trying to at least let us see whether or not your, again, total unilateral decision is, in fact, resulting in good enforcement actions being stymied and stifled.
the ability of any institution or enterprise to attract people who will pay some of their own money to attend I think is an important indicator of quality.
for-profit institutions see service members as nothing more than dollar signs in uniform.
the GI Bill is like a magnet for for-profit institutions because that counts toward the 10 percent in the 90-10 rule.
for-profit institutions "see service members as nothing more than dollar signs in uniform."
And without even consulting Congress, by the way, which, again, is a very big breach of normal practice around here, and I, frankly, think it is going to do damage to transfer, reprogramming----
Hopefully we will move swiftly and make a choice because again, this is an issue that can't wait.
Congratulations on your service and leaving on your own terms, which is the best way to end your chapter.
Section 1707 of the Space Force proposal asks for authority to involuntarily assign military and civilian personnel to the Space Force.
How do you balance moving money out of the Department of the Army at the same time you are coming back to Congress, saying, oh, by the way, there are unfunded priorities, such as the Fort Drum project?
I would like to go back to the space force proposal, because in the budget document that was submitted, section 1707, I mean, there is some pretty extraordinary transfer authorities which the administration is proposing.
If there is transfer authority of that sweeping in nature, I mean, actually, the costs could be far different than what was put into the budget as a line item.
