The Department of Education (ED) on Monday kicked off the first day of its newest negotiated rulemaking (neg reg) committee focused on reforming the accreditation process, which Under Secretary Nicholas Kent said could “upend” higher education. 

NASFAA and dozens of higher education organizations responded to the Department of Education’s (ED) proposed regulations for the new Workforce Pell Grant (WFP) Program, calling for changes to provisions around job placement rate data collection, standards over the appeals process, and also voiced concerns about the implementation timeline.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) made sweeping changes to federal student aid programs that will widen unmet need gaps and increase the demand for supplemental private education loans. Please join Education Finance Council and the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators today at 2 p.m. ET, for a timely discussion on PLL regulations and institutional best practices.
