Ep. 131 - Sept. 12, 2018: The Role of the Inspector General in Education Policy

The Office of the Inspector General from the U.S. Department of Education is widely respected for its efforts to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse, but what happens when the OIG starts making policy recommendations? Jason Delisle, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, joins EdNext Editor-in-chief Marty West to discuss the involvement of the OIG in policymaking. Delisle is the co-author, with Nat Malkus, of "Inspecting the Inspector General: Should Auditors Set the Terms of Debate on Federal Education Policy," available at https://www.educationnext.org/inspecting-inspector-general-should-auditors-set-terms-debate-federal-education-policy/
