But now, following the widely-reported announcement of a new DoED rule governing companies in the lucrative, for-profit education sector, DoED Inspector General (IG) Kathleen Tighe will be the first and perhaps the only person to look into controversial claims that may implicate the office of Education Secretary Arne Duncan.

A number of House Authorizing Committees have already benefited from the creation of oversight and investigations subcommittees, including the Armed Services Committee, the Homeland Security Committee and the Energy and Commerce Committee.

As such, we have a strong interest in working to ensure that every federal agency has an independent and aggressive permanent Inspector General (IG).[1] We applaud your administration for recently nominating permanent IGs for a number of key posts, including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).[2] However, a POGO investigation has found that the Department of State has been without a permanent IG for nearly three years.

For instance, POGO has learned that Geisel has recused himself from a State Office of Inspector General (OIG) investigation involving Under Secretary of State for Management Patrick Kennedy and a company called Aurora, LLC. Geisel’s recusal is due to a perceived conflict of interest between him and Kennedy. Kennedy is in charge of State’s day-to-day operations.
