PRESS RELEASE: AAF exposes WAR on businesses in higher education
Higher Ed Shakedown: Exposing the Secretive Partnership among Biased Bureaucrats, Progressive Activists, and an Ultra Wealthy Donor to Eliminate Successful Businesses in Higher Education.
The American Accountability Foundation (AAF) has published a groundbreaking new report: “Higher Ed Shakedown: Exposing the Secretive Partnership among Biased Bureaucrats, Progressive Activists, and an Ultra Wealthy Donor to Eliminate Successful Businesses in Higher Education.”
This is the latest installment in AAF’s series of reports examining a concerted initiative by the Biden administration and its allies, underreported in the media, that threatens to limit student choice, inhibit innovation, perpetuate a failing model of education, and advance the far-left’s mission of unrestrained student loan forgiveness.
The first in the series, Cordray’s Witch Hunt at the Department of Education (www.DOEDWitchHunt.com) revealed the Department of Education’s weaponization of the Federal Student Aid Office to coerce students into traditional public and private four-year colleges. The second report, The New Liberal Mega Donor (www.TheRealArnolds.org) pulled back the curtain on the dealings of billionaire benefactor John Arnold, who has funneled $20+ million into proxy organizations to support the Biden Administration’s higher education defense.
This paper, the third in the series, identifies three progressive activist organizations, each funded almost entirely by the Arnold Foundation, that serve as an extension of the Biden Department of Education. Masquerading as independent advocates for student interests, these Administration bedfellows provide the political cover and tactical know-how to harass and shutter successful businesses in higher education. These group’s end goal is to restore control of services disrupted by innovation securely under the purview of conventional college administrators, despite their egregious track record, typified by their handling of campus Hamas protests.
This paper identifies the origins and key staffing at these organizations; the unique coordinating role each plays; and the novel techniques employed to advance their liberal agenda.
“The Biden administration’s war on private education is one of its most disturbing abuses,” said AAF president Thomas Jones. “The best way to get all Americans the education they deserve is to allow the competition and innovation only possible in a free market. Instead, Biden and his leftist allies are doing everything they can to impose their own ideological preferences on all students and putting American education in a straightjacket.”
