I call upon my colleagues to pursue a bi-partisan path forward to reforming the Higher Education Act.

Our education system is in crisis.

Families don't care about who runs a college, they do care about their ability to succeed.

Democrats want to talk about a college's legal and financial structure, not about students.

I think the record needs to be straightened out.

There are real issues American students and families are grappling with.

Republicans care about all students no matter what institution they attend.

Republicans oppose all fraud and abuse no matter the tax status of the perpetrator.

I think it's important that we ascertain that when that strengthening came in was under a republican administration.

I would say that students going to those schools would say that is extracting revenue for individual benefit.

You know there are lies, damn lies, and statistics.
