**Justice Restored: Trump Administration Rescinds Unjust Fine Against Christian University**
In a significant victory for religious institutions, the Trump Administration has abolished a staggering $37.7 million fine levied against Grand Canyon University (GCU) by the previous Biden administration.
This move marks a clear departure from the prior administration’s approach to higher education, which many observers criticized as overly punitive, particularly towards Christian colleges.
The Department of Education (ED) underscored its commitment to fairness and accountability, stating that it will no longer enforce policies that appear to target educational institutions based solely on their religious affiliation.
ED spokesperson Ellen Keast emphasized, “Unlike the previous Administration, we will not persecute and prosecute colleges and universities based on their religious affiliation."
The hefty fine had been issued following an investigation that alleged GCU misrepresented the cost of its doctoral program. However, the Trump Administration's review found no merit to these allegations.
GCU President Brian Mueller expressed gratitude for the reversal, highlighting the university’s dedication to transparency and ethical practices. He stated, “The facts clearly support our contention that we were wrongly accused... and we appreciate the recognition that those accusations were without merit.”
This landmark decision comes amid growing concern regarding the Biden administration's direction towards religious institutions. The American Principles Project has called for Congress to examine the treatment of Christian colleges, citing the cumulative penalties against GCU and Liberty University that far exceed penalties assessed against other institutions over the past seven years.
Supporters of the Trump Administration view this action as a critical stand against what they interpret as systemic bias against religious institutions. It reaffirms a core principle: that educational opportunities should be accessible and fair, irrespective of an institution's religious background.
By restoring justice for GCU, the Trump Administration continues to champion individual rights and liberty, signaling a return to a more balanced and equitable approach in the realm of higher education. As the administration forges ahead, it remains focused on ensuring that all institutions of learning can thrive without the fear of unjust reprisals based on their values.
