@nasfaa@usedgov From @nasfaa letter to @usedgov on licensure programs -
"We recommend ED retain current regulations that require institutions to advise students whether programs meet or do not meet state licensure or certification requirements.." 10/X
@nasfaa@usedgov From @nasfaa letter to @usedgov on licensure programs -
"licensure boards do not reliably make their requirements accessible and — in some cases — do not apply standards uniformly, making it impossible for institutions t o determine if their program meets state requirements" 9/X
Highlights from the @NASFAA letter to the @usedgov on their proposed #highered regs regarding...
-expanding #gainfulemployment reporting,
-state authorization reciprocity, &
-requirements for programs leading to professional licensure. 1/X
@usedgov@NCSARA_News New @usedgov#highered regs:
For #stateauthorization reciprocity: institutions must meet closure, recruitment, and misrepresentation regs for each state.
Colleges would pay tuition recovery funds & bonding for some states & meet other regs.

@usedgov@NCSARA_News New @usedgov#highered regs:
Programs leading to professional licensure must "satisfy" the educational prerequisites for licensure or certification in that state.
No definition for "satisfy."
What about professions that don't make a determination? https://t.co/ppGGXkQRHs
Breaking: @usedgov releases regs for comment from last rulemaking.
Looks like it will have big impact on #onlinelearning programs using #reciprocity & on programs leading to licensure in other states. Reading thru the 1,077 pages.

The @usedgov delays enforcement of its #Thirdpartyservicers guidance and clarifies a few services that are not included.
Kudos to the Department for quick action, but they need to go further before #negreg to narrow the scope to services that pose Title IV risks
