Miller Applauds Gainful Employment Rule-making Process Moving Forward
WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.), the senior Democrat on the Education and the Workforce Committee, today issued the following statement after the U.S. Department of Education announced a new negotiated rule-making process specifically for gainful employment.
“I applaud the administration for moving forward to define minimum standards that protect students and taxpayers from the most predatory academic programs that over-promise, over-charge and under-deliver. With student loan debt posing serious consequences to our economy, it is completely appropriate to ensure students have access to career programs that will get them ahead. Going to college should not be a game of roulette. We can make going to college a little bit easier by holding programs accountable for outcomes that prepare students to succeed after graduation.”
