Today at @HowardU, I joined President Frederick for a fireside chat on the Trump Administration’s efforts to make college more affordable and expand access to opportunity. We discussed the work underway to help students pay for college, reduce barriers, lower costs, and hold e. I appreciated the opportunity to engage with students and faculty on these important issues and hear their perspectives.

This is an example of an accrediting agency taking our new accreditation regulations seriously, developing a plan to comply, and maintaining transparency with its institutions, programs, and the public throughout the process.avma.org/news/avma-plan…

The mission continues.

In just two years, the Trump Administration has delivered the largest expansion of education freedom in history, implemented historic reforms to higher education that will drive down costs, and enforced parental and civil rights at every level that will keep our students safe.

We are incredibly proud of all the good work we have accomplished for the American people, and we are just getting started. 🇺🇸

Physical violence and hatred have no place in American education. This incident is a disgrace. We expect @UMich and every institution of higher education to uphold freedom of speech, safety, and lawfulness on their campuses.
"She would be happy to go back if it meant she got to kill me."

Jewish activist Lizzy Benichou recounts an alleged death threat from a student at the University of Michigan after a confrontation that left her knocked to the ground.

Benichou claims the student made the chilling laced into a police car, referring to a previous stay in a mental institution.

Chairman @RepWalberg applauded @usedgov's final rule to reform college accreditation and put student success FIRST.

For too long, accreditors have prioritized political agendas over student outcomes.

Committee Republicans are working to increase competition, cut red tape, and real value for students and families.

For too long, accreditors have effectively served as a cartel to protect their interests, rather than the educational value that institutions of higher education are expected to deliver for students. These reforms will refocus accreditation on what matters most: student achievement, educational value, and academic excellence. ed.gov/about/news/pre…

Every federal student aid dollar stolen by fraudsters is a dollar taken from a student in need. Proud to stand with @WHFraudTF to hold fraudsters accountable, at home and abroad.
.@AAGMcDonald: "The goal is to keep the ghost student in school for as long as possible, semester after semester after semester, stealing money from the taxpayer. These are not isolated errors. This is organized fraud at scale."

Linda McMahon is in Nashville today for a major speech on the future of American colleges, we have a preview on @realDailyWire. It’s an incredible speech—in many ways a sequel to Marco Rubio’s speech in Greece.

Why did she pick Nashville? Because Vanderbilt is proactively reforming, and should be an example for the rest of the country, she says

“Universities must recognize that, at its core, the affordability crisis is an administrative overhead crisis. You cannot freeze tuition if you continue to expand layers of bureaucratic red tape that add zero value to students’ education.”

Exciting visit to Athens Technical College yesterday! Impressed by the hands-on training opportunities for students, from the HVAC program to the dental lab.

These programs are preparing Georgia’s workforce with the skills needed for in-demand careers.

Leave it to @AOC to make an economic argument about ‘sexism.’

She was a bartender, so let’s settle the tab.

The Trump Administration is holding colleges accountable for leaving students worse off than if they never enrolled. Too many graduates report delaying major life a home because low return-on-investment programs saddled them with unmanageable debt that was never going to translate into a real-world job.

AOC is parroting the “free college” fantasy which would shift $3 TRILLION onto hardworking American taxpayers – including women.

We are ending the days of subsidizing unlimited loans because they only made universities rich and left students and families with the bill.
