The Department of Education (ED) on Monday resumed its negotiated rulemaking — or “neg reg” — sessions on student loan debt relief. During Monday’s session stakeholders began to weigh in on the department’s first draft of regulatory text that seeks to administer new initiatives to carry out student loan cancellation for certain borrower populations it seeks to identify through the rulemaking process.

NASFAA, along with several higher education organizations, joined onto a letter sent to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce with comments regarding the Defending Education Transparency and Ending Rogue Regimes Engaging in Nefarious Transactions (DETERRENT) Act. The legislation would make several amendments to foreign gift and contract reporting requirements for institutions. While the organizations state they appreciate the effort of this legislation, they warn lawmakers that there could be “detrimental impacts” to institutions.
