This week on "Off The Cuff," the team welcomes Columbia University's David Sheridan, who is the recipient of the 2020 Allan W. Purdy Distinguished Service Award.

Next, the team dives into breaking news from Thursday morning as the Supreme Court ruled against the Trump administration's attempt to dismantle the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Megan brings the latest on two lawsuits challenging the Department of Education's guidance and interim final rule that would limit eligibility for CARES Act emergency student grants. Plus, Jill gives an update on the latest guidance on standard terms, as well as GEN-09-05, a Dear Colleague Letter related to professional judgment. Have a question for the "Off The Cuff" team?
