As OpenSecrets notes, "Only a tiny fraction of Americans actually give campaign contributions to political candidates, parties or PACs. Just 0.97% of the United States population contributed more than two hundred dollars to federal candidates, PACs, parties, and outside groups [last cycle]" This is the reason campaign contributions are such an instructive tool in analyzing civil servants, because only the most avid partisans - less than one percent - write a check to a candidate.

Nina Schichor showed her support for the Black Lives Matter movement by posting a photo on her personal Facebook account. BLM has been linked to anti-police legislation and widespread riots across the nation.
During her tenure at the CFPB under Director Richard Cordray, Nina Schichor aggressively investigated and targeted alternative and online colleges. This enforcement appears to be a one-sided approach, as traditional colleges were not subjected to the same level of scrutiny or oversight.
Former CFPB head Richard Cordray, was appointed as the Chief Operating Officer of Student Financial Aid office at the start of the Biden administration’s tenure.
This was a big deal. The Student Financial Aid Office oversees the outlay of public and the management of federal student loan debt. Essentially, Cordray has set up a mini CFPB to assist him overseeing this massive part of the Department of Education.
In 2021, Cordray reconstituted the DOEd Student Financial Aid Office of Enforcement as his mini-CFPB reporting directly to him. At the helm, Cordray appointed Kristen Donoghue, who was previously the enforcement director of the CFPB, where she ran a 140-person office responsible for enforcement when Cordray was the director. Since then, Nina Schichor, who previously was a Senior Attorney at CFPB, was brought in as the Deputy Director of the enforcement office.[1]
It appears the fix was in. According to an investigation of the Enforcement office by the Government Accountability Office, the vast majority of schools the Enforcement office has investigated are career colleges, despised by the Biden Administration because they offer an alternative to the over-priced campuses that dominate conventional higher ed.
Richard Cordray turned “the Office of Enforcement from his tenure at the CFPB a sue and harass model where he uses the heft of the federal government and its allies to bring disfavored industries to heel,” the AAF reported. Incredibly, he sought a 600 percent increase for his agents.”

On May 1, 2024, Nina Schichor, representing the Department of Education, took part in a symposium organized by the left-wing group Center for American Progress which attacked Project 2025 and promoted abortions. The session, titled "Symposium on Education Accountability, Assessment, Accreditation, and Equity," was ostensibly about exploring accountability in education systems. However, it appeared more focused on pushing a progressive agenda and DEI.
“This session will explore strategies for holding education systems accountable to the students, families, and communities they serve. Panelists will consider the role of assessment, the importance of accreditation and licensure, mechanisms in place for ensuring quality, and the implications for equity in each. The discussion will include an overview of the challenges of ensuring access to quality educational experiences and present new ways of thinking about what accountability means for educators who value inclusion and equity.”
