WASHINGTON – Today, Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) expressed concerns over the recent FAFSA failures, stating that these errors highlight a lack of good governance within the administration. Foxx emphasized the importance of due diligence and proper data testing, suggesting that many of these mishaps could have been prevented or detected earlier.

Foxx criticized the Education Department for its repeated mistakes and delays, leading to doubts about the accuracy of data provided by the administration. She highlighted the administration's focus on free college and its illegal student loan scheme, questioning the priorities of the Department amidst ongoing FAFSA issues.

The Chairwoman raised questions about the effectiveness of Biden's student loan policies, stating that they do not address the high cost of tuition. Foxx argued that forgiving loans would only encourage more borrowing, as institutions may raise prices without being held accountable for student outcomes.

Foxx concluded by likening the Biden administration's handling of FAFSA to a boat with holes in it, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability in postsecondary education to address the urgency of the situation.
