Story here. Excerpt:

'North Carolina Congresswoman Virginia Foxx questioned the Education Department's overreach when it comes to campus sexual assaultduring a hearingĀ on Wednesday.

The congresswoman directed her question to Dr. John King, the acting secretary of the Education Department, who is currently going through the confirmation process to officially become head of the department.

"I'm very concerned about what's happening within your department's Office for Civil Rights and its impact on college campuses across the country," Foxx said. "For too long the OCR has gone around Congress by legislating a new mission and I'm deeply concerned about the office's legitimacy and effectiveness on these issues and the potential negative impact on students and institutions."'
