US representatives Elise Stefanik and Virginia Foxx have received over $300,000 from the 'for-profit' college industry since 2019 .

Observers say Foxx and Stefanik are the industry’s strongest congressional supporters, frequently “doing their bidding” by pushing controversial legislation and shielding for-profit schools that fail students from accountability, all while pulling in campaign donations.

Stefanik and Foxx took in as much in the first quarter of 2024 as she did in all of 2023 .

Foxx also saw a small spike in for-profit donations in the months after the antisemitism hearings.

Stefanik pushed legislation that would have required elite” universities to pay off forgiven student loan debt.
