- AACOM recently submitted comments on the U.S. Department of Education (ED)'s proposed rules on distance education, return of title IV funds and the federal TRIO programs. AACOM also signed an American Council on Education comment letter to ED on these issues.
- These proposed rules followed negotiated rulemaking committee sessions held earlier this year where AACOM nominee Erika Linden served as the primary negotiator for private, non-profit institutions of higher education.
- ED must finalize the rule by November 1, 2024, for the regulations to take effect on July 1, 2025.
- The proposed rules on the remaining topics from the negotiated rulemaking committee—state authorization, accreditation and cash management—are expected to be released in 2025.
