"Colleges will get more time to report data related to their programs and students’ outcomes after the Education Department decided Friday to push back the deadline to submit that information from Oct. 1 to Jan. 15," Inside Higher Ed reports.

..."That plan worries the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators.

'While NASFAA supports students making well-informed enrollment decisions, rushing the process will lead to inaccurate and incomplete information,' NASFAA interim president and CEO Beth Maglione said in a statement. 'ED’s top priority should be helping students and institutions navigate the existing FAFSA crisis.'

NASFAA and other associations representing colleges said in statements that they appreciated this latest delay but wanted a later deadline like the senators requested."
