US Department of Education Gives Christian Universities 70% of Penalties, Despite Them Only Educating 10% of Students

The United States Department of Education is unfairly targeting Christian Universities and Colleges by giving them 70% of the fines and penalties despite making up a disproportionately small percentage of schools, according to a new report by the American Principles Project. (APP)

Billed as the ‘premier national organization engaging directly in campaigns and advocacy on behalf of the family,’ the APP found that “Since assuming office, the [Biden] administration has waged an unprecedented assault against Christian colleges, universities, and students, while systematically protecting ‘elite’ public and private institutions, foisting woke ideology on reluctant students, and enabling antisemitic, violent protests on campuses across the nation.”

This war is being carried out by the Department of Education’s Office of Enforcement, “an obscure agency created under President Obama and resurrected by President Biden,” whose goal is to “shut down colleges and universities that don’t align with the Administration’s woke agenda.” Their tactics include:

  • Impose massive penalties against leading institutions
  • Harass schools operating in good faith with scrutinize-and-fine investigations.
  • Cut off or threaten colleges’ and universities’ access to Title ICX funding.

The report further found:

Within the last year, the Biden-Harris Department of Education imposed record fines against two of the nation’s most prominent Christian universities—Grand Canyon University ($37.7 million) and Liberty University ($14 million). These fines total more than all other penalties the Department of Education assessed over the past seven years.

Over the last 10 years, the Department of Education has issued nearly 75 fines for Clery Act violations, totaling $27.5 million in penalties. Twenty fines – more than a quarter – were against Christian colleges and universities. The average fine against a Christian school was $815,000, compared to $228,571 against public and private institutions.

Nearly 70 percent of penalties imposed by the Office of Enforcement have been against Christian institutions and career colleges, even though these schools represent less than 10 percent of college students.

  1. the quoted purpose to shut down schools that don’t align with the administration’s woke agenda – who uses the word woke? did Obama make that up, as far as I can see it’s meant to be an insult.
    there seems to be a lot of detail missing from this reporting, I would like to share it out right, but I’m not sure I trust it. I think it’s a shoddy job.
