"Universities around the country only recently received revised student financial aid data after months of delays — and the Biden administration is also requiring them to provide new employment metrics without telling them how to comply," The Washington Examiner reports.

..."But schools have not been given guidance as to what specific information they need to provide to hit the Biden administration’s metrics, and all of the data to meet both requirements must be compiled by the October deadline.

'The department was saying, ‘Oh, and by the way, you know, you’ve got to do this very extensive, multiyear gainful employment and financial value transparency reporting by July 31. And also, we don’t have reporting guide for you. We don’t have the data elements finalized. Just know: There’s a deadline coming,'' Jill Desjean, senior policy analyst for the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, told the Washington Examiner.

'There’s not much you can do. You just know, ‘I have a deadline, but there’s nothing I can do to prepare,'' she added."
