DeVos stood by her methodology of forgiving student loans, as Democrats claimed it showed she ignored experts' recommendations.
Two-year-old memos took center stage at a House Education Committee hearing on Thursday where Education Secretary Betsy Devos defended her position to only issue partial relief to some students who were defrauded by their schools.
Representative Jahana Hayes, a Democrat from Connecticut, suggested that DeVos' unfamiliarity with the NPR story ahead of the hearing showed a"total lack of regard." DeVos responded that there are"hundreds of documents," and she couldn't be expected to read every story a media outlet publishes. Representative Suzanne Bonamici, a Democrat from Oregon, criticized DeVos' methodology, saying that a person earning money doesn't automatically negate the possibility they were defrauded.
