Department of Education Seeks to Regulate Higher Education

[cannoda]

I would suggest that the purpose of the proposed regulations are to define certain terms that are currently undefined for the purpose of federal financial aid.

I suspect that certain educational institutions have used such terms in qualifying their students for federal financial aid in a manner that most institutions would find highly unusual, and abusive of the federal financial aid process.

I have not read the proposed regs closely but they seem to be intended to deal with some of the financial aid abuses associated with the for-profits and recently reported in the media.

The question is . . . WHO is really behind the opposition to these proposed regs.
