Official account of the U.S. Department of Education Under Secretary. Posts prior to January 20, 2025 are from previous administrations.



As student loan debt nears $1.7 Trillion, it’s clear that @USEdGov was never intended to serve as our nation’s fifth largest bank. That’s exactly why we are partnering with @USTreasury to restore fiscal sanity and better align student aid programs with students, families and borrowers.





Foreign dollars (often with strings attached) have been flowing into U.S. universities. It’s time the American people find out exactly who’s paying — and at what cost. Starting now, my office will take a brand-new role in partnership with @usedgov and Under Secretary Kent delivering on @POTUS’s executive order to bring transparency to foreign money in U.S. higher education and research.⬇️




Earlier today, an armed individual opened fire at Old Dominion University, leaving one person dead and two others wounded. The shooter is now deceased thanks to a group of brave students who stepped in and subdued him – actions that undoubtedly saved lives along with the quick response of law enforcement. The FBI is now investigating the shooting as an act of terrorism. Our Joint Terrorism Task Force is fully engaged, embedded with local authorities, and providing all resources necessary in the investigation. In the meantime, please pray for the victims, their families, and the ODU community.
