WATCH: SECRETARY CARDONA STATES HIS SUPPORT FOR EQUITY ACROSS HIGHER ED SECTORS

6/25/2021

 
Arlington, Va. -- In an exchange during a June 24 House Education and Labor Committee Hearing, U.S. Department of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona stated his support for equity of treatment of students and institutions across all sectors of higher education.

In response to Representative Fred Keller's assertion that "all educational institutions need to be treated the same, whether proprietary or not-for-profit", Secretary Cardona emphatically replied, "I agree, yes."

Secretary Cardona went on to assert the importance of protecting and supporting all students by making sure that "they are getting a good return on investment wherever they go, community schools, community colleges, four-year, two-year, private... [and] protect them wherever they go."
​

"We agree with Secretary Cardona that all schools should be treated equally and held accountable for outcomes," said CECU President and CEO Dr. Jason Altmire, "We are happy to see his commitment to protecting all students in all sectors of higher education as the Department moves forward with negotiated rulemaking."
