Under Sarah Angilello's supervision at the FSA Investigation Group, Angilello co-presented a presentation titled “Why is FSA Enforcement Contacting Me and What is Expected?”. In this presentation, it was suggested that no evidence is needed to initiate an investigation, essentially creating a loophole to investigate anyone.

These efforts to “proactively identify and address major problems” gives unprecedented legal authority to open investigations against career colleges and Christian schools. Something the Biden administration took full advantage of.

The FSA Investigations Group targeted Grand Canyon University, a Christian college, which was investigated by FSA and hit with a 37.7million fine. GCU denied the allegations and said that the difference of opinion “could have easily been resolved in a 10-minute phone call had the Department been open to such a resolution.” GCU further stated “this speaks volumes about their agenda-driven motivation to bring harm to the university and the coordinated efforts being taken against GCU”:

“GCU tried to work cooperatively with the Department to address this difference of opinion that could have easily been resolved in a 10-minute phone call had the Department been open to such are solution. In fact, given the Department’s lack of cooperation, GCU proposed to have the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) provide mediation on this matter, which the Department declined. This speaks volumes about their agenda-driven motivation to bring harm to the university and the coordinated efforts being taken against GCU. Further, the Department’s claims of wanting to protect students from “unexpectedly high levels of debt” at GCU are false given that our graduates incur less debt than the national average, and far less than other private universities. Rather than the Department protecting students, we are being forced to protect our students from this targeted and unwarranted government overreach.”
