His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The school plans to appoint an interim chief executive officer until a new president and CEO is hired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiles resigned of her own volition, according to Taylor Huckaby, the college’s communications director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our board appreciates the leadership provided by Ms. Hiles during her tenure as Calbright’s chief executive officer,” said Tom Epstein, president of the college’s board of trustees, in a statement Monday. “She led the launch of the start-up college that has already enrolled hundreds of students. Systems are in place to expand operations over time to meet the college’s goal of providing flexible online job-based learning opportunities to help adult workers in California obtain the skills they need to advance their careers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"California Federation of Teachers President Jeff Freitas\"]‘Unfortunately, so much money has been spent for so few students that could have been used for the same targeted student community.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiles’ sudden departure, less than a year into her four-year contract, \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2019/calbright-faces-questions-weeks-before-opening/615920\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">revived previously stated concerns\u003c/a> by community college faculty groups over the amount of money the college — and Hiles — has received to develop programs they contend already exist within the other 114 community colleges. The college receives about $20 million annually for operating costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The entirely online, free community college \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2019/hundreds-sign-up-for-the-new-calbright-college/618055\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">opened its virtual doors in October\u003c/a>, and has since enrolled more than 300 students in one of three program pathways, all of which are self-paced and designed to be completed in under one year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The college was seen as a bold initiative championed by former Gov. Jerry Brown to serve so-called “stranded workers” — older workers who need additional skills to advance in their careers without having to go back to college to get a degree. Although anyone can enroll in the college, Brown envisioned it specifically serving underemployed adult students, between the ages of 25 and 34, working part time or stuck in positions that don’t pay a living wage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Faculty Association of California Community Colleges President Debbie Klein and Executive Director Evan Hawkins said, “We wish Heather Hiles the best in her future endeavors. … Unfortunately, new leadership alone will not fix this inherently flawed use of state resources.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group, which represents more than 9,000 members and advocates for community college faculty, said there have been serious concerns since Calbright’s inception.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We continue to question the value of Calbright. The college has already received $140 million of state funding while violating the Educational Code with duplication,” the statement said. ”Its per-student funding is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars as our other colleges receive the lowest per-student funding, and the college is now without leadership only months after opening its doors to students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Federation of Teachers, the union representing 30,000 community college employees, including faculty members, has been opposed to the online college since Brown first proposed it. Last year, the union threatened a lawsuit if the online college failed to immediately meet goals that had been outlined by the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CFT President Jeff Freitas said the union had voiced its criticism about how much Hiles was paid, her previous professional position, the lack of transparency at Calbright and the direction Hiles was moving the college.

Jerry Brown to serve so-called “stranded workers” — older workers who need additional skills to advance in their careers without having to go back to college to get a degree.

The college has already received $140 million of state funding while violating the Educational Code with duplication,” the statement said. ”Its per-student funding is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars as our other colleges receive the lowest per-student funding, and the college is now without leadership only months after opening its doors to students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Once the trucks leave, the residents move back in.

The state’s homeless population has ballooned in recent years; in 2019, there were more than 150,000 homeless people in California, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and 72% of them did not have shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A range of health concerns has spread among homeless communities. A few years ago, hepatitis A, spread primarily through feces, infected more than 700 people in California, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/CDPH%20Document%20Library/Immunization/2016-18CAOutbreakAssociatedDrugUseHomelessness.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most of them homeless,\u003c/a> according to state officials. Ancient diseases, such as typhus,\u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2019/03/typhus-tuberculosis-medieval-diseases-spreading-homeless/584380/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> have resurged\u003c/a>. Homeless people are\u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/news/the-homeless-are-dying-in-record-numbers-on-the-streets-of-l-a/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> dying in record numbers\u003c/a> on the streets of Los Angeles, according to data from the county coroner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Communities up and down California, increasingly frustrated with the growing number of homeless people living on public property, have tasked police and sanitation workers with dismantling encampments that they say pollute public areas and pose serious risk of fire, violence and disease. The rousting and cleanups have become a daily occurrence around the state, involving an array of state and local agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the response from officials has prompted a public health crisis all its own, according to interviews with dozens of homeless people and their advocates. Personal possessions, including medicines and necessary medical devices, are routinely thrown away. It’s a quotidian event that Leilani Farha, the United Nations special rapporteur on adequate housing, described as a “cruelty” that she hasn’t seen in other impoverished corners of the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ciha, who is 57, learned the hard way that living on the street means his belongings can be taken in an instant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November 2018, when he was camping by an Ikea in nearby Emeryville, the California Highway Patrol and Caltrans employees showed up unannounced. He was out buying a tent when they arrived, and the crew designated his belongings as garbage. His fellow campers protested and grabbed what they could. Ciha returned and asked for time to gather his things. But everything, he says, was just thrown into a trash compactor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with his bedding and clothes, he lost three weeks of an eight-week supply of the medication he’d been prescribed to treat hepatitis C. He’d gotten the medicine through Medi-Cal. Though the drugs were almost certainly purchased at a discount, Ciha’s course of treatment retails for around $40,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, a federal court case involving a camping ban in Boise, Idaho, determined that cities can’t cite people for sleeping on public property when there’s nowhere else to go. It doesn’t, however, determine rules about their possessions. That question has been argued for decades, with\u003ca href=\"https://nlchp.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Tent_City_USA_2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> multiple courts\u003c/a> determining that destroying or confiscating property without notice is a violation of the constitutional right to personal property. Cities rarely, if ever, fight those decisions, which means there’s been no precedent set by a higher court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11795326\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/ciha5_custom-38b7938a8f652e77b86c1896bd7ea675ccf7ee52-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"The California Department of Transportation is required to post notices of cleanups before clearing out homeless encampments on state property.

Today, many California cities have policies that either prevent seizing belongings or require storage, but public health and safety exceptions often allow for things to be thrown away without notice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If cities spent half the energy on trying to provide access to sanitation as they did on trying to find constitutional ways to take people’s belongings, they could address homelessness,” Tars says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of San Francisco contends that it stores people’s belongings when they are seized — a policy that resulted from a settlement of an earlier lawsuit. But advocates for the homeless, including \u003ca href=\"https://sociology.berkeley.edu/graduate-student/chris-herring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chris Herring\u003c/a>, a doctoral student in sociology at University of California, Berkeley, say that doesn’t always happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"small\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Chris Herring, a doctoral student in sociology at University of California, Berkeley,\"]‘[The city will] say we’re just asking people to move, but if you’re being asked that over and over and you have nowhere to go, and people are acting like you’re worthless or they’re scared of you, that affects you fast.’[/pullquote]Herring has been embedding himself in San Francisco’s homeless community off and on for years. He spent nine months in 2014 and 2015 living on the street, for example, and another year studying the police, public health and sanitation workers tasked with cleaning encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Herring says he has witnessed people refusing medical help because they didn’t want to leave their things behind, and says he knows others who lost jobs after missing shifts to salvage personal items. An elderly man, so ill he lay paralyzed on the sidewalk, once called Herring and asked him to look after his stuff before he called 911.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles has limited the amount of personal property people can carry with them or store on public property, saying it must fit inside a 60-gallon container — the equivalent of a medium-sized outdoor trash bin. Several homeless residents\u003ca href=\"https://la.curbed.com/2019/7/18/20699345/homeless-camps-seizures-lawsuit-constitutional\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> are suing\u003c/a> the city over the rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, up the hill from where Ciha camps, Caltrans posts advisories about scheduled cleanups, notifying people when they will come through. Caltrans policy requires the postings, but an ongoing \u003ca href=\"http://sanchezlawsuit.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">class-action lawsuit\u003c/a> against Caltrans claims that policy isn’t always followed, and that the sweeps are a violation of people’s constitutional right to private property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ciha has joined the suit. Another defendant says Caltrans took her walker, which she was using because an infected wound made it difficult for her to get around. Others have lost ID cards and prescriptions, a setback for making appointments or receiving benefits, according to one of the lawyers on the case, Osha Neumann.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans workers say they hate doing the cleanups. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like 100 times worse than it was just a few years ago,” says Steve Crouch, director of public employees for Local 39 of the International Union of Operating Engineers, which represents Caltrans workers. “One of the biggest gripes they have is having to clean up the homeless encampments. It’s a nasty job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sweeps also cause psychological pain. Ciha and his neighbors talk about how horrible it is when people driving by throw garbage at them. Herring says the trauma of living on the streets is so intense he hasn’t yet figured out how to write about it in his academic work. “[The city will] say we’re just asking people to move, but if you’re being asked that over and over and you have nowhere to go, and people are acting like you’re worthless or they’re scared of you, that affects you fast,” Herring says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ciha got tested for hep C after a friend went from healthy to sick in a matter of months. When Ciha was prescribed the treatment, the doctor told him he shouldn’t miss a dose. After his things were discarded, he wandered around Oakland for a week, he says, sleeping in random places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11795336\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/ciha1_custom-122cb834abf574021801eda809eff8866345a8c7-s800-c85-800x532.jpg\" alt='Every other week, Norm Ciha and his homeless neighbors temporarily relocate their camp from land alongside a freeway offramp in Oakland, to a nearby vacant lot — until state cleanup crews have come and gone.

The state’s homeless population has ballooned in recent years; in 2019, there were more than 150,000 homeless people in California, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and 72% of them did not have shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A range of health concerns has spread among homeless communities. A few years ago, hepatitis A, spread primarily through feces, infected more than 700 people in California, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/CDPH%20Document%20Library/Immunization/2016-18CAOutbreakAssociatedDrugUseHomelessness.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most of them homeless,\u003c/a> according to state officials.

The rousting and cleanups have become a daily occurrence around the state, involving an array of state and local agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the response from officials has prompted a public health crisis all its own, according to interviews with dozens of homeless people and their advocates. Personal possessions, including medicines and necessary medical devices, are routinely thrown away. It’s a quotidian event that Leilani Farha, the United Nations special rapporteur on adequate housing, described as a “cruelty” that she hasn’t seen in other impoverished corners of the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ciha, who is 57, learned the hard way that living on the street means his belongings can be taken in an instant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November 2018, when he was camping by an Ikea in nearby Emeryville, the California Highway Patrol and Caltrans employees showed up unannounced. He was out buying a tent when they arrived, and the crew designated his belongings as garbage. His fellow campers protested and grabbed what they could. Ciha returned and asked for time to gather his things. But everything, he says, was just thrown into a trash compactor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with his bedding and clothes, he lost three weeks of an eight-week supply of the medication he’d been prescribed to treat hepatitis C. He’d gotten the medicine through Medi-Cal. Though the drugs were almost certainly purchased at a discount, Ciha’s course of treatment retails for around $40,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, a federal court case involving a camping ban in Boise, Idaho, determined that cities can’t cite people for sleeping on public property when there’s nowhere else to go. It doesn’t, however, determine rules about their possessions. That question has been argued for decades, with\u003ca href=\"https://nlchp.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Tent_City_USA_2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> multiple courts\u003c/a> determining that destroying or confiscating property without notice is a violation of the constitutional right to personal property.

Among the top funding priorities is fighting the surging homeless crisis. The new budget earmarks 750 million dollars in funds to pay for rent and immediate housing assistance for homeless people at the local and state level. That’s in addition to an executive order Newsom signed Wednesday, allowing state land to be made available for emergency homeless shelters.Since taking office last year, the governor has also championed cutting health care costs and prescription drug prices.This year’s budget includes a proposal to create California’s own line of generic drugs by negotiating directly with drug makers. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marisa Lagos, politics and government correspondent, KQED\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>U.S.-Iran Conflict Takes a Toll on Iranian Americans\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Southern California is home to hundreds of thousands of people of Iranian descent, the largest concentration in the U.S. and outside of Iran. This past week has been particularly trying for them, beginning with the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in an airstrike last Friday ordered by President Trump. Iran retaliated this week by firing more than a dozen missiles at two U.S. military bases in Iraq housing American troops. On Wednesday morning, President Trump addressed the nation about the attack, saying that no troops were injured and that a new round of economic sanctions would be imposed on Iran. While war with Iran seems unlikely – for now at least – tension abounds for Iranian Americans, dozens of whom in the past week were detained at airports and other ports of entry where border agents, in some instances, allegedly queried their political and religious beliefs. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shokooh Miry, Iranian American psychologist and former board chair, National Iranian American Council\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dornaz Memarzia, Iranian American community member\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Dominant San Francisco 49ers Reach Playoffs\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tomorrow, the San Francisco 49ers hope to continue their push to the Super Bowl with a victory against the Minnesota Vikings.

It’s also the first time in his six-year career that he’s reached the playoffs as a starter, bouncing back from an injury that sidelined him much of last season.

Gavin Newsom unveiled a $222 billion state budget for 2020. Among the top funding priorities is fighting the surging homeless crisis. The new budget earmarks 750 million dollars in funds to pay for rent and immediate housing assistance for homeless people at the local and state level. That’s in addition to an executive order Newsom signed Wednesday, allowing state land to be made available for emergency homeless shelters.Since taking office last year, the governor has also championed cutting health care costs and prescription drug prices.This year’s budget includes a proposal to create California’s own line of generic drugs by negotiating directly with drug makers. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marisa Lagos, politics and government correspondent, KQED\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>U.S.-Iran Conflict Takes a Toll on Iranian Americans\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Southern California is home to hundreds of thousands of people of Iranian descent, the largest concentration in the U.S. and outside of Iran. This past week has been particularly trying for them, beginning with the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in an airstrike last Friday ordered by President Trump. Iran retaliated this week by firing more than a dozen missiles at two U.S. military bases in Iraq housing American troops. On Wednesday morning, President Trump addressed the nation about the attack, saying that no troops were injured and that a new round of economic sanctions would be imposed on Iran. While war with Iran seems unlikely – for now at least – tension abounds for Iranian Americans, dozens of whom in the past week were detained at airports and other ports of entry where border agents, in some instances, allegedly queried their political and religious beliefs. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shokooh Miry, Iranian American psychologist and former board chair, National Iranian American Council\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dornaz Memarzia, Iranian American community member\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Dominant San Francisco 49ers Reach Playoffs\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tomorrow, the San Francisco 49ers hope to continue their push to the Super Bowl with a victory against the Minnesota Vikings. The number one seed 49ers ended their regular season with 13 victories and just 3 losses, anchored by quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and his single season, career high 27 touchdowns. It’s also the first time in his six-year career that he’s reached the playoffs as a starter, bouncing back from an injury that sidelined him much of last season. And it’s the first time ever that the 49ers will battle teams in the playoffs at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Education Secretary Betsy DeVos endured a withering barrage of questions on Wednesday about her handling of a program meant to provide debt relief to federal student loan borrowers who say they were defrauded by for-profit colleges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Madame Secretary, your refusal to process claims is inflicting serious harm on students,” Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., said in his opening statement. “These defrauded borrowers have been left with piles of debt, worthless degrees and none of the jobs that were promised.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11790670\" label=\"\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos testified before the House education committee one day after NPR published \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11790670/betsy-devos-overruled-education-department-findings-on-defrauded-student-borrowers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">internal memos \u003c/a>showing the secretary overruled her own department’s findings that borrowers deserved full relief from their loans, because their college credits are essentially worthless. Hundreds of thousands of borrowers are in limbo, and several members referred to the memos in their questioning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The questioning got heated and personal at times. Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Fla., in her trademark cowboy hat adorned with purple glitter, stated that the secretary was “out to destroy public education.” Wilson told Devos, “You are the most unpopular person in our government. … When many people vote in 2020 they will vote to remove you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Virginia Foxx, the committee’s ranking Republican, called those comments “over the line.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In answering questions from the panel, DeVos acknowledged some of the problems. “Yes, there is a backlog of borrower defense claims at Federal Student Aid,” she said. “To say that I am frustrated by that is an understatement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While she stated her intention to enforce current regulations in “good faith,” DeVos also repeated her position that taxpayers’ interests need to be protected when deciding who should get their money back and how much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Students are my number one priority,” DeVos said in her opening statement. “They are why I come to work every day. So if students have been deceived by institutions and suffered financial harm as a result, they should be made whole.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 300,000 borrowers have pending claims, DeVos said Wednesday. Some have been waiting, in many cases for years, for the Education Department to decide their financial fate. Federal agencies found, starting in 2015, that some for-profit colleges, including the now-defunct \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2014/07/08/329550897/the-collapse-of-corinthian-colleges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Corinthian Colleges\u003c/a> and ITT Technical Institute, lied to these students about their job prospects and the value of their credits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the waning days of the Obama administration, the Education Department decided to grant full loan relief to these defrauded borrowers under a previously little-used rule called “borrower defense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when DeVos took over, she quickly made clear that the department would not be offering borrowers blanket relief. She came up with a new formula that would provide only partial relief to the vast majority of borrowers, based on their present-day income. That idea was stopped by the courts on the grounds that using Social Security earnings data to calculate relief violates borrowers’ privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Questioning by Republicans on the committee, including Rep. Fred Keller of Pennsylvania, focused on the court case as the reason that borrower relief has been delayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, DeVos came back with a new plan for partial relief that would rely on publicly available income data. In the hearing today, DeVos defended the principle of providing “fair relief to all borrowers who actually have been harmed. … They would not be entitled to relief if they can’t demonstrate they’ve been financially harmed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rep. Suzanne Bonamici of Oregon was among many Democrats to argue that “just because someone is making money doesn’t mean they weren’t defrauded.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The secretary was defiant on Wednesday in her opposition to existing regulation and the findings of her own department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After taking office, DeVos had to sign off on thousands of borrower defense claims that had already been approved by the previous administration. As pointed out by Wilson during the hearing, she added three words below her signature: “with extreme displeasure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, DeVos said that the Obama administration had “weaponized borrower defense against schools that they didn’t like.” When asked directly, by Democrats Kim Schrier of Washington state and later by Andy Levin of Michigan, whether she believed Corinthian students had indeed been defrauded, the secretary did not answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>‘People Just Laugh in My Face’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Rep. Scott in his opening statement referred directly to NPR’s reporting this week. “A media outlet published documents revealing that [the department’s] own staff conducted research … and found students deserved full debt relief.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He demanded: “Are there other relevant documents the department is withholding?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR on Wednesday published previously unreleased, internal Education Department memos that show just how strongly career staff in the department’s Borrower Defense Unit had come down on the side of defrauded borrowers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the memos, the unit reviewed thousands of borrower complaints against Corinthian and ITT Tech. Just weeks before DeVos was sworn in as secretary, the unit recommended to the department’s political leadership that these borrowers deserve no less than full relief from their student debts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11782808,news_11637321,news_10908778\" label=\"Related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=6572882-1-9-2017-Memo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One memo, dated Jan. 9, 2017\u003c/a>, begins: “Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (‘Corinthian’) consistently represented that all graduates obtained jobs after graduation or, relatedly, that its students were guaranteed employment after graduation. These representations were false and misleading. Accordingly, the Borrower Defense Unit recommends full relief for Corinthian borrower defense (BD) applicants.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=6572883-1-10-2017-Memo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Another memo, dated the next day\u003c/a> — Jan. 10, 2017 — arrived at the same conclusion for California-based students who allege they were lied to by ITT Technical Institute, and likewise recommended full relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memos also include quotes from individual borrowers. In the Jan. 9, 2017, memo, a Corinthian graduate complains, “I was told I would find a job in my field. … I ‘graduated’ and still can’t find a job that will honor my degree.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Employers will not touch me,” says a borrower quoted in \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=6572884-10-24-2016-Memo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a memo dated Oct. 24, 2016\u003c/a>. “After graduating I posted a resume online. I did not receive any responses until I removed [the school’s name] from my resume.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another borrower says, “People just laugh in my face.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an especially tense exchange, Rep.

Bobby Scott, D-Va., said in his opening statement. “These defrauded borrowers have been left with piles of debt, worthless degrees and none of the jobs that were promised.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos testified before the House education committee one day after NPR published \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11790670/betsy-devos-overruled-education-department-findings-on-defrauded-student-borrowers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">internal memos \u003c/a>showing the secretary overruled her own department’s findings that borrowers deserved full relief from their loans, because their college credits are essentially worthless. Hundreds of thousands of borrowers are in limbo, and several members referred to the memos in their questioning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The questioning got heated and personal at times. Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Fla., in her trademark cowboy hat adorned with purple glitter, stated that the secretary was “out to destroy public education.” Wilson told Devos, “You are the most unpopular person in our government. … When many people vote in 2020 they will vote to remove you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Virginia Foxx, the committee’s ranking Republican, called those comments “over the line.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In answering questions from the panel, DeVos acknowledged some of the problems. “Yes, there is a backlog of borrower defense claims at Federal Student Aid,” she said. “To say that I am frustrated by that is an understatement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While she stated her intention to enforce current regulations in “good faith,” DeVos also repeated her position that taxpayers’ interests need to be protected when deciding who should get their money back and how much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Students are my number one priority,” DeVos said in her opening statement. “They are why I come to work every day. So if students have been deceived by institutions and suffered financial harm as a result, they should be made whole.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 300,000 borrowers have pending claims, DeVos said Wednesday. Some have been waiting, in many cases for years, for the Education Department to decide their financial fate. Federal agencies found, starting in 2015, that some for-profit colleges, including the now-defunct \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2014/07/08/329550897/the-collapse-of-corinthian-colleges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Corinthian Colleges\u003c/a> and ITT Technical Institute, lied to these students about their job prospects and the value of their credits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the waning days of the Obama administration, the Education Department decided to grant full loan relief to these defrauded borrowers under a previously little-used rule called “borrower defense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when DeVos took over, she quickly made clear that the department would not be offering borrowers blanket relief. She came up with a new formula that would provide only partial relief to the vast majority of borrowers, based on their present-day income. That idea was stopped by the courts on the grounds that using Social Security earnings data to calculate relief violates borrowers’ privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Questioning by Republicans on the committee, including Rep. Fred Keller of Pennsylvania, focused on the court case as the reason that borrower relief has been delayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, DeVos came back with a new plan for partial relief that would rely on publicly available income data. In the hearing today, DeVos defended the principle of providing “fair relief to all borrowers who actually have been harmed. … They would not be entitled to relief if they can’t demonstrate they’ve been financially harmed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rep. Suzanne Bonamici of Oregon was among many Democrats to argue that “just because someone is making money doesn’t mean they weren’t defrauded.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The secretary was defiant on Wednesday in her opposition to existing regulation and the findings of her own department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After taking office, DeVos had to sign off on thousands of borrower defense claims that had already been approved by the previous administration. As pointed out by Wilson during the hearing, she added three words below her signature: “with extreme displeasure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, DeVos said that the Obama administration had “weaponized borrower defense against schools that they didn’t like.” When asked directly, by Democrats Kim Schrier of Washington state and later by Andy Levin of Michigan, whether she believed Corinthian students had indeed been defrauded, the secretary did not answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>‘People Just Laugh in My Face’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Rep. Scott in his opening statement referred directly to NPR’s reporting this week. “A media outlet published documents revealing that [the department’s] own staff conducted research … and found students deserved full debt relief.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He demanded: “Are there other relevant documents the department is withholding?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR on Wednesday published previously unreleased, internal Education Department memos that show just how strongly career staff in the department’s Borrower Defense Unit had come down on the side of defrauded borrowers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the memos, the unit reviewed thousands of borrower complaints against Corinthian and ITT Tech. Just weeks before DeVos was sworn in as secretary, the unit recommended to the department’s political leadership that these borrowers deserve no less than full relief from their student debts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In the Jan. 9, 2017, memo, a Corinthian graduate complains, “I was told I would find a job in my field. … I ‘graduated’ and still can’t find a job that will honor my degree.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Employers will not touch me,” says a borrower quoted in \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=6572884-10-24-2016-Memo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a memo dated Oct. 24, 2016\u003c/a>. “After graduating I posted a resume online. I did not receive any responses until I removed [the school’s name] from my resume.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another borrower says, “People just laugh in my face.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an especially tense exchange, Rep.
