Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is refusing to testify before the House Education and Labor Committee about her department's collection of student loan debt from former Corinthian Colleges students
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is refusing to testify before the House Education and Labor Committee about her department's collection of student loan debt from former Corinthian Colleges students, despite a threat of a subpoena from House Democrats.
Scott, in a letter to DeVos on Nov. 1, said his committee would consider using its legal authority to compel her testimony if she didn't accept an offer to appear voluntarily. Scott's follow-up letter insisted that DeVos was the only appropriate Education Department witness to testify on the matter. "These back-and-forth letters seem to do little to advance the public good, though clearly, are effective at generating headlines," DeVos wrote Scott.
