ED Promises to Revise the TPS Expansion in a Blog Post philhillaa.com/onedtech/ed-pr…

BREAKING: Update on the Department of Education’s Third-Party Servicer Guidance "Specifically, we will delay the effective date of the guidance letter, and the September 1, 2023, date will no longer be in effect." blog.ed.gov/2023/04/update… #edtech #Thirdpartyservicers #negreg

The U.S. Department of Education delays enforcement of its #Thirdpartyservicers guidance and clarifies a few services that are not included. Kudos to the Department for quick action, but they need to go further before #negreg to narrow the scope to services that pose Title IV risks Inside Higher Ed

Breaking: U.S. Department of Education releases regs for comment from last rulemaking. Looks like it will have big impact on #onlinelearning programs using #reciprocity & on programs leading to licensure in other states. Reading thru the 1,077 pages. www2.ed.gov/policy/highere… #HigherEd NC-SARA

U.S. Department of Education NC-SARA New U.S. Department of Education #highered regs: Programs leading to professional licensure must "satisfy" the educational prerequisites for licensure or certification in that state. No definition for "satisfy." What about professions that don't make a determination? www2.ed.gov/policy/highere…

U.S. Department of Education NC-SARA New U.S. Department of Education #highered regs: For #stateauthorization reciprocity: institutions must meet closure, recruitment, and misrepresentation regs for each state. Colleges would pay tuition recovery funds & bonding for some states & meet other regs. www2.ed.gov/policy/highere… NC-SARA

Highlights from the NASFAA letter to the U.S. Department of Education on their proposed #highered regs regarding... -expanding #gainfulemployment reporting, -state authorization reciprocity, & -requirements for programs leading to professional licensure. 1/X

NASFAA U.S. Department of Education From NASFAA letter to U.S. Department of Education on licensure programs - "licensure boards do not reliably make their requirements accessible and — in some cases — do not apply standards uniformly, making it impossible for institutions t o determine if their program meets state requirements" 9/X

NASFAA U.S. Department of Education From NASFAA letter to U.S. Department of Education on licensure programs - "We recommend ED retain current regulations that require institutions to advise students whether programs meet or do not meet state licensure or certification requirements.." 10/X
