in anticipation of getting that bill paid by the department of education, they can spend the money indvance. what the department of education said is basically, it took away the credit card and said, "no, no, we need to verify your expenses before we get reimbursed." >> i think we're in the peak of the highest amount of worry right now. >> smith: trace urdan was closely monitoring the company. he told me that for most of the previous year, the ceo of corinthian, jack massimino, was downplaying his problems. >> he would say, "it's gonna be fine, you know, we've put these things in place and it's all gonna be good, and you know, the students are coming, trust me." they're always extremely optimistic, right? so it's the job of people like me to try to filter that a little bit. >> smith: did you ask that question? "are you defrauding students?" >> well, no, i probably wouldn't have phrased it that way. >> smith: maybe you should have. >> maybe i should have. maybe i should have. >> smith: i then asked him about the department of education withholding funds from corinthian. >> i knew somet

marcus can be an effective advocate and public servant at the department of education. >> dr. trachtenberg, rabbi baker wrote in his written testimony that unlike anti-semitism, other forms of prejudice and group hatreds are easy to recognize. do you or any of the other panelists, for that matter, disagree with that? that is, can't and don't all forms of hatred change with the circumstances and the times? >> thank you for your question. i think we always have to pay attention to context when we're looking at any particular one incident, and we need to investigate it carefully. when we think about the state department definition, which seeks to codify what anti-semitism is, it's such a flawed definition that it can virtually encompass any particular act without real regard to context, although it pretends that it does. for example, the state department definition claims that stating that a particular jewish person has more loyalty to the state of israel than they do to their own country is necessarily an example of anti-semitism, or the truth is, that's one of the fundamental pr

it would provide guidance to the department of education and department of justice on whether to investigate anti-jewish discrimination in instances in which anti-israel activity crass the line into targeted intentional unlawful discriminatory intimidation and harassment of jewish students. our statement also provides several additional policy recommendations. number one, first, we recommend training and outreach program for administrators, faculty, staff and students on best practices and protocols to respond to hate speech, extremism, anti-semitism and bigotry. second, we recommend education on the parameters of first amendment free speech rights, hate speech may be protected but admin straytors and student leaders have the moral responsibility to address the impact and does not approve inciting violence. there are no complete solutions to this problem and all anti-semtry and bigotry must be addressed long before the college years. the government that the responsibility to fund anti-bias, anti-racism education in k through 12 schools to inoculate our children to intolerance before they eve

and we talked about overlaps of workforce education earlier, and at one of the large overlaps is we have at the department of labor labor force education, and at the department of education, vocational education. and i think the overlap between those two is quite substantial. so, let me say, i'm more than happy to return and speak with your staffs. i also think it's important to engage the department of education, because i am told that ultimately, this is within their jurisdiction. >> i understand. the more allies that we can have on this critical piece of legislation that will help our workers and employers, the better. >> absolutely. >> so, i definitely could use your help. and thank you for committing to us you're going to help us. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. mr. rooney, you're recognized for three minutes. >> first, mr. secretary, thank you for changing back the administrator's interpretations on joint employer and the definition of an independent contractor, et cetera, bringing some kind of sanity back to the labor department and the workforce. it sure needs it. i'd like to

fwral rating system for educational programs of institutions. well, first, the department of education has tried a number of rating systems over there. all with mixed success at best and i'm trying to be polite. but they failed miserably in doing so. they tried to rate institutions bested on default rates and those are being apeeled by many as being inaccurate. they tried to rate institutions on something called gainful employment. but gainful employment for career schools only, because no one goes to university for gainful employment. i assure you, my guess is the speak zr as well, you went to university hoping for gainful employment. i doubt there's anyone in the room that didn't go to a college university in hopes of gainful employment. the reality is the department of education has tried to create these federal rating systems and failed miserably. so we did something unique. the college transparency act explicitly prohibits the creation of a single database by the department of education and explicitly prohibits using that database for a federal rating system. i give u

and i had deeply troubled that vilashz oz of the law are being ignored by the department of education. the law requires in statute that states identify three distinct categories of schools for improvement. bottom 5%, all schools where one subgroup is consistently underperforming and schools where any subgroup is performing as poorly as the bottom 5%. but plans are now being approved that violate this and there are more examples i'd be happy to talk through but chairman, alexander if today it department is choosing to implement whatever it feels like, which i believe they are in the approval of state plans so far, this this committee needs to hear from the secretary directly on how she intends to fall though laws congress agrees to shall especially as we begin to reauthorize the hea. i hope we can hear from the department soon and then i believe we can begin addressing the critically important issues in higher education. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, senator murray for your comments on both subjects and i'll be looking forward to talking to you about following the law. we even

of the department of education could not tell you how many art teachers there were and i thought that was a pretty basic question. don't you have to pay the art teachers cracks can you work backwards from your payroll? science education zero soldier can do science education before you teach kids to read and i thought that's strange. i have kids of my own and they are constantly asking called scientific questions. why couldn't you teach science from the get-go and it got more and more narrow. when my last hearings was on toilet paper and i know that sounds kind of ridiculous and i have to say i am the leading expert still to this day on toilet paper in the new york city school system and i spent a month trying to understand how at the time a $15 billion operating budget is now by the way 31 billion, but at the time it was $15 billion, how come there was no toilet paper in the new york city school system and kids in the new york city school system purchased toilet paper and if so what happened at the school and what i discovered was that affluent district schools parents purchased the t

the new york city department of education. so it doesn't take 18 months to get a bulletin board. you're operating in that way, it's hard to keep the facility the way you want it. collocation is a policy that is associated with charter schools, even though the vast majority of collocation in new york city, where there are multiple schools in one facility, most of those are district. but you have probably only heard of it with regard to charter schools because those are the could-location that are so-called controversial and there's in large part controversial bass the unions have made them controversial. they don't like charter schools, and they don't like the idea of public charter schools getting underutilized space, and i was the author of that policy. i was the first person to promote using underutilized space. so there are many districts in new york that are overcrowded, which you probably heard about, but then there are some districts that are underutilized. literally the utilization rate is between 40% and 70%. so those seats the taxpayers have paid for are empty, and i pro

betsy devos at the department of education has not filled top positions, she herself said that the department of education should perhaps be abolished. take a look at ben carson, the secretary of, over whatever agency he's -- hud, take a look at rick perry over at energy. all these people are on record as saying that these departments should be abolished. the president is on record saying he wanted to drain the swamp and make the government a little bit smaller. so two things very quickly. one, look, you can disagree with president trump. you can disagree and be angry he is our president but he does have the right to do this and he's consistent by putting people in place that want to shrink the government as opposed to grow it. i don't agree with that philosophy. i think there should be some qualified people in these roles, particularly at the state department, particularly in education, but the reality is that this is a person who won, and the reality is that this is a person who is our president and the reality is constitutionally he has the right to do this. >> margaret sullivan, let me tu

department. what's your philosophy of what the department can do and what it shouldn't do? how do you want the role of the education department to be defined? >> i think there's much larger role for states to play. it is of the role of the states, and this administration is very embracing of federalism. the every student succeeds act the congress passed at the end of 2015 which is just now starting to get enacted really returns a lot of the flexibility and control to the states for k-12 education. right now we are receiving the plans, reviewing them. it's michael to a group every single plan to follow the law that congress passed. the interpretations in the states will be different, and that's good, and we hope that states will take the opportunity to be creative in how they are addressing needs of students in the states. we also hope states will work with our local communities and with local school buildings to give the kind of flexibility that's needed to allow for new creative approaches to be taken and to be embarked upon. >> okay. so our poll question, does the department favor taking a greater role in driving

education issues. one of the largest hurdles to passing any new bipartisan education law is how secretary devos and the department of education are today currently picking and choosing when to follow laws written by this committee and passed by the congress. right now secretary devos and her department are blatantly violating the current k-12 law that we just updated two years ago. they won't follow the very statuary language this committee settled on review and i worked together on every student succeeds act. we reached an agreement to give states flexibility while including some of the requirements for stays in the statute. the requirements are in black and white. they are in the law and have nothing to do with regulation. and i am deeply troubled that violations of the law are being ignored by the department of education. i want to give you an example the law requires in statute that states identify three distinct categories of school term improvement. bottom 5% schools, all schools where one subgroup is consistently underperforming, and schools with any subgroup is performing at poorly at the bottom 5%. plans

when we reflect on the role of the federal government and the department of education, it's important to remember that 90% of the funding comes from within the state. yet, i would say probably 90 plus percent of the regulation came from the federal level. again, the results we have seen with that entry into that trying to make everybody conform to one size fits all approach, has not -- the results have not been positive overall for students in this country. >> again, the critics of choice would say, that's all well and good if you get the chance to pick your school. many kids don't get into the right school or a worse school or minimal school. isn't that a risk of choice? i mean, we have tried -- here is one of the programs that's been tried in some places. when we see improvement in the school here, improvement in the school there. you have a lot of kids kind of doomed to poor schools. how do you address that problem? >> if the demand is there, there's response to demand. i would actually refer to florida where, again, the broadest range of choices and the greatest number of students
