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.

Susan Crim runs the Administrative Actions and Appeals Service Group (AAASG), an FSA office within the Office of Enforcement that is the final sign-off on fines and other enforcement actions against postsecondary institutions participating in federal student aid programs. These actions include fines, limits, suspensions, terminations, and emergency actions.
In 2016, the Department of Education, under the leadership of Susan Crim, made the controversial decision to withdraw federal student loan funding from the Charlotte School of Law, a for-profit institution. This decision represents a clear example of excessive government intervention in the education sector and undermines the principle of educational choice.
“If you recall, Charlotte Law was recently placed on probation by the ABA for being out of compliance with requirements that it have “sound admissions policies and procedures” and admit only applicants who “appear capable of satisfactorily completing its program of legal education and being admitted to the bar.” The Department of Education did not take kindly to the fact that Charlotte Law students were being taken advantage of, and decided it was time to step in, perhaps in a way that would hurt the school the most.
Here’s more information from a press release posted on the Department’s website:
“The ABA repeatedly found that the Charlotte School of Law does not prepare students for participation in the legal profession. Yet CSL continuously misrepresented itself to current and prospective students as hitting the mark,” said U.S. Under Secretary of Education Ted Mitchell. “CSL’s actions were misleading and dishonest. We can no longer allow them continued access to federal student aid.” …
Today’s action denies CSL’s request to be recertified to continue its participation in the federal student aid programs. Effective Dec. 31, 2016, CSL’s participation in those programs will end, and beginning Jan. 1, 2017, students may no longer use federal student aid to attend the school.
In announcing its decision to deny the school recertification for the federal loan program, Susan D. Crim, the director of the Administrative Actions and Appeals Service Group of the Department of Education, took Charlotte Law to task in a 14-page letter that can best be described as a verbal beatdown. Here’s one of the most salient paragraphs contained in her letter”
