The promise was to hold a hearing on the First Amendment in higher education. The provided official House Education & Workforce Committee evidence shows the Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Development held a hearing on April 29, 2026 titled “Speech or Silence? The Future of the First Amendment in Higher Education,” and that Burgess Owens opened or led the hearing as chairman. Because this occurred while Owens was serving in the relevant federal office and directly matches the promised oversight action, it counts as delivered in the same term.
