This bill would direct the Department of Education to shut down its Office of Enforcement, which was recently reestablished to oversee and take action against colleges and universities that participate in federal student loan and grant programs. The office was created to strengthen oversight of schools that receive federal student aid funding.
How it affects you
Students and families using federal student loans or grants could be affected, since there would be less federal oversight of the schools where that money goes.
