"The Education Department on Friday announced it reopened the reporting period for institutions to submit data for gainful employment and financial value transparency reporting requirements until Feb. 18, after some schools were unable to meet the initial deadline of Jan. 15," POLITICO reports.

... "Several education groups and lawmakers had previously urged the department to extend its deadline."

"'Financial aid professionals — already stretched thin by last year’s chaotic FAFSA rollout — worked long hours to meet the federal deadline for gainful employment and financial value transparency reporting,' said NASFAA Interim President Beth Maglione in a statement. 'Unfortunately, their efforts were stymied by a glitchy, slow, untested reporting platform and inadequate guidance from federal partners — issues that NASFAA raised for the Department six months ago.'"
