AAU joined NASFAA and five other organizations to submit comments to the Education Department in response to its July 29 Federal Register notice seeking feedback about the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund’s proposed annual data collection form. In the comments, the organizations addressed questions outlined by the department and provided other technical concerns about the data collection tool. According to the organizations, the comments sought “to add clarity to several proposed reporting fields and reduce institutional burden to the fullest extent possible, while still meeting the spirit and letter of the reporting requirements.”
