AAU, along with other higher education organizations, joined a letter led by ACE to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce regarding the “Defending Education Transparency and Ending Rogue Regimes Engaging in Nefarious Transactions (DETERRENT)” Act. The letter urges the Committee to not detrimentally impact reporting regulations in Section 117 of the Higher Education Act . The letter strongly encourages “the final bill to also include language that requires the Department of Education to carry out negotiated rulemaking on Section 117.”
