OTC AskRegs Experts: Examining New Guidance From ED on Third Party Servicers
This week on "Off the Cuff," Justin, Jill, and David discuss updated guidance from the Department of Education (ED) about third party servicers. Jill dives into the guidance, including what concerns institutions should have and what it means to be classified as a third party servicer. She also debriefs the listening sessions ED plans to hold in March on incentive compensation. Additionally, David discusses issues that arise when a student is enrolled in multiple programs at the same institution. Maria then shares some recent higher education news, including a new report of institutional endowments and upcoming protests as the Supreme Court prepares to hear oral arguments of President Joe Biden’s student loan debt relief program next Tuesday.
