If higher education is to be seen as a door to opportunity for Americans, then recruitment, admissions, and enrollment policies and practices are what determine how wide the door is open — and for whom. A new report from the Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) aims to address how institutions can achieve the intended mission of higher education through their various recruitment, admissions, and enrollment practices.

NASFAA joined the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) in a letter to Federal Student Aid (FSA) Chief Operating Officer Richard Cordray regarding FSA’s proposed changes to the 2021 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Compliance Supplement. Pointing to the disruptions colleges and universities experienced due to the coronavirus pandemic, the letter urges Cordray to delay new requests for the single audit cycle until 2022.

NASFAA is pleased to announce that Richard Cordray, the newly appointed chief operating officer of Federal Student Aid, will speak at the 2021 Virtual Conference next week. Mr. Cordray will speak during the Department of Education session scheduled for 1:30-3:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, June 24. He will be joined by FSA's Melanie Storey and David Musser, as well as Michelle Asha Cooper, acting assistant secretary for postsecondary education and deputy assistant secretary for higher education programs at the Department of Education. Be sure to tune into this and other sessions during what is sure to be an engaging and educational week!
