Keeping an eye on the Department of Education is part of one of Congress's most important jobs — oversight of the executive branch. Sen. Warren and her staff rely on careful research to find out whether the Department is following federal education laws in the best interests of students and taxpayers. Tips from whistleblowers can provide valuable information about whether the Department's actions are legal and ethical, and whether they honor the trust that students and taxpayers put in the Department.

Whistleblowers who have clear and verifiable information, especially documents, related to the Department of Education, its employees, or its contractors are welcome to submit their tips below. A useful tip will be:

• Specific: the information contains as much detailed information as possible, such as offices, names, and dates.
• Widely applicable: the information affects many student borrowers or other stakeholders, rather than just one loan or person. Please see below for resources that can help address personal issues with student loans.
• Backed by evidence: the tip includes hard evidence, such as official documents, or points to a specific source where Sen. Warren’s staff could obtain documentation or other direct evidence.

Please note
