The Biden-era Education Department hit Grand Canyon University with a record $37.7 million fine in 2023, claiming the Christian school lied to students about doctoral program costs. That fine was suddenly canceled this month after federal officials admitted they had no proof of wrongdoing.
GCU faced years of attacks from Biden’s regulators, accused of hiding fees that supposedly left students paying thousands extra. But investigators found zero evidence to back these claims. The case collapsed completely, with the government forced to drop all charges permanently.
“We were wrongly accused,” said GCU President Brian Mueller, calling out the administration’s targeting of faith-based schools. He slammed Washington’s “political bias” against religious institutions, pointing to similar unjust fines against Liberty University.
The Education Department now admits GCU broke no laws and upheld strict transparency rules. Documents show regulators spent years chasing fake charges while ignoring the school’s clean record. This reversal exposes the previous administration’s witch hunt against Christian education.
Mueller warned that Biden’s team punished GCU for its biblical values, not real violations. He highlighted how federal agents ignored clear facts to smear the university’s reputation. Their goal? To intimidate religious schools into silencing their beliefs.
This abuse of power matches a disturbing pattern. Under Biden, Christian colleges faced unprecedented scrutiny while woke campuses got free passes. GCU’s victory proves even giant government can’t crush truth forever.
The Trump-appointed Education Department spokesperson blasted Biden’s “persecution” of faith-based institutions, vowing to protect religious freedom. Americans see this reversal as a win for every patriot fighting federal overreach.
Grand Canyon University stands tall today – a beacon of resistance against leftist bullies. This scandal shows why voters must keep fighting to drain the swamp and defend America’s Christian values.
