NEWS FROM NASFAA

Negotiators wrapped up work on all seven issue papers to cap a packed week of discussions for the final session of the Institutional and Programmatic Eligibility negotiated rulemaking committee, with little agreement on the issue papers at hand, and spent the bulk of Friday afternoon in breakout caucus sessions. In all, the committee reached consensus on two out of the seven issue papers: the 90/10 rule, along with the ability to benefit regulatory language, only reaching consensus at the tail end of Friday’s session.
