NEWS FROM NASFAA

The White House, in an effort to clarify and simplify how researchers — including those at colleges and universities — disclose information to the federal government, has provided updated guidelines for providing more concrete rules for ensuring research security and researcher responsibilities, including disclosure of foreign gifts or contracts. While additional guidance is forthcoming, the document — released by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) — directs a number of federal agencies to develop a common reporting form and details certain consequences for violations related to disclosure requirements that could result in the Department of Education’s (ED) suspension or denial of Title IV funds.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Wednesday announced that her administration would seek to restore Tuition Assistance Program funding to incarcerated New Yorkers, lifting a 30-year eligibility ban. The move would make New York just the second state to repeal a state-wide ban along with New Jersey.
