Education Politics and Policy
TICAS: Policymakers Should Change How Student Loan Defaults Are Measured – NASFAA
While policymakers have proposed adjusting or abandoning the cohort default rate (CDR) as a measure of institutional eligibility for Title IV aid and replacing it with other metrics, such as loan repayment rates, a new report from the Institute for College Access and Success (TICAS) argued there is value in working with what is already in place — as long as it’s improved.
 
According to Andrew Kreighbaum, education reporter, on twitter:
Lamar Alexander *backs* a bipartisan bill to end an exemption to the 90/10 rule for veteran education benefits — a priority for veterans groups that’s been opposed by for-profit colleges. More details for Bloomberg subscribers.

​Legal and Regulatory IssuesEarly Implementation of State Authorization Rule Changes – Powers Pyles Sutter & Verville PC
The U.S. Department of Education’s latest State Authorization rule removes several regulatory compliance burdens, but adds a few in their place. Institutions have discretion to implement these changes any time between now and July 1, 2020. Read about some key considerations in deciding whether to implement now. 
CECU Webinar
Accreditation and State Authorization Webinar: Overview of the U.S. Department of Education’s final rule on accreditation and related matters
On November 1, 2019, the U.S. Department of Education released its official final rule on accreditation and related matters, including state authorization requirements for institutions offering distance education or correspondence courses. The final rule culminates over a year of robust discussion and debate which sought to balance the need for eliminating burdensome federal regulations, promoting innovation in higher education, and maintaining educational quality. The final regulations increase student access, improve teach-outs for students at closed or closing institutions, restore focus and clarity to the accreditor recognition process, and integrate risk-based review of accreditors. Join CECU Senior VP of Policy and Research Nicholas Kent for this exclusive 60-minute webinar for an overview of how the final regulations will impact accreditors, institutions, and students when they go into effect next year.
Presenter: Nicholas Kent, Senior VP of Policy and Research, CECU
