A U.S. Senate committee has postponed its vote for Secretary of Education nominee Betsy DeVos to give members more time to review an ethics report outlining steps the West Michigan native will take to avoid conflicts of interest.

The committee vote was originally scheduled for Tuesday, but is now slated for Jan. 31 at 10 a.m., according to a statement from the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.

The ethics report was released late last week.

"The committee has received Betsy DeVos's paperwork from the Office of Government Ethics. She has completed the committee's paperwork, answered questions for 3 1/2 hours at her confirmation hearing, met privately with the members of the committee, and she will now spend the coming days answering senators' written questions for the record," said a spokesperson for the committee's chairman, Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.

Senate Democrats have pressed to receive DeVos' complete ethics review and other information prior to their vote. They also expressed frustration at being limited to only one round of questioning - at 5 minutes per senator - during DeVos' confirmation hearing last week, saying more time was needed to press the school choice advocate and GOP mega donor on her views of education and her qualifications to oversee the nation's schools.

However, Alexander has been supportive of DeVos, saying she has provided senators with answers to their questions and would be champion for schoolchildren.

"We know that Betsy DeVos is a passionate defender of improving opportunities for low-income children who has committed to implement the law fixing No Child Left Behind as Congress wrote it, support public schools, and work to protect all children and students from discrimination and ensure they are educated in a safe environment," Alexander's spokesperson said.

Last week, in a letter to ethics officials at the education department, DeVos detailed her plans to divest - within 90 days of her confirmation - from 102 entities she has a financial interest in to avoid any "actual or apparent conflict of interest."

DeVos also said she had resigned from 12 organizations she's actively involved in but which she has no financial interest. Those include the Dick and Betsy DeVos Family Foundation, the Great Lakes Education Foundation, ArtPrize Grand Rapids and the American Federation for Children Action Fund.
