In December 4th of 2018, a letter to Senator Durbin, you stated that prior to August 2, 2018, only two meetings between the Department personnel and Dream Center representatives occurred in regard to the impending closure of many of Dream…
In responses to QFRs submitted to Senator Durbin yesterday, the Department stated that HLC did not notify the Department that they have taken an adverse action against the institution, which would have disqualified these institutions from…
If you believe these schools were accredited, then why did you order Dream Center officials to amend their web page?
Let the students at these schools...on record--let it be known as being told that their school was not accredited.
A significant number of for-profit schools have engaged in serious misrepresentation that we've been talking about.
This is pretty appalling. Internal strategies such as these reflect another example of corporate greed and the willingness to use whatever means to exploit students.
I hope that maybe your Department can take a look at it and maybe help us move that forward so there is no abuse and intentional discrimination towards those of color.
I hope, Secretary Carson, that you and my colleagues who agreed with you in that statement would also apply that to the President of the United States.
My colleague, Representative Pressley, and I are introducing a bill that bans the use of real-time facial recognition technology in federally-funded housing.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus, who puts this Special Order together every week, has truly been committed to the rights of our LGBTQ neighbors, and I am very pleased that many of my colleagues tomorrow, in a very bipartisan way, are…
I also would love to recognize the fact--it is pretty historic--that Madam Speaker who is presiding over this Chamber right now is a member of our beautiful community, of the LGBTQ community. That, to me, is pretty historic as we now are…
The American people have invented a way to end the HIV epidemic, and that we should be very proud of.
We do not ask for your company's charity or for tax-deductible donations that meet your company's needs but fail to meet the needs of our communities. Rather, we ask Mr. O'Day, why not lower the price of Truvada to $15 a month right here…
I ask you as a representative of my community, as a proud American, as a scientist, and as a patient, to join me in asking Mr. O'Day what justification do you have for charging $2,000 a month for Truvada as PrEP when the American people…
Mr. Pahl, would you agree that payday lenders asking for vulnerable borrowers to submit comments while applying for a loan is, at best, suggestive and, at worst, coercive?
To justify repealing the rule backed by such evidence, I would have expected you to have done at least that much work.
The largest component of the CRA is its ability to block mergers that can harm consumers and endanger the financial system.
The Community Reinvestment Act is extremely critical in combating housing discrimination, and also ensuring that all Americans, every single American has access to economic opportunities.
Our democracy and our voice of the American people are undermined when abuses of this nature go unchecked.
Unfortunately, this story is not atypical. CFPB's own research supports that 80 percent of the payday loan borrowers' debts were rolled over or reborrowed within 30 days.
Reports show that lenders may have been asking borrowers to submit pro-industry comments while they are applying for their loans.
