This week on "Off the Cuff," Karen, Jill, and Hugh discuss the latest news surrounding gainful employment (GE) and financial value transparency (FVT) regulations, as well as NASFAA's advocacy campaign to request that Congress take action to require the Department of Education (ED) to delay upcoming institutional reporting requirements. The team then debriefs the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the "Chevron deference" and how it could impact higher education policy. From there, Karen and Jill update listeners on the latest news with the FAFSA – including when batch corrections will be available and new guidance from ED. The team also discusses new legislation in Congress – the FAFSA Deadline Act – and updates with the appropriations process.

Karen McCarthy Vice President, NASFAA	Jill Desjean Senior Policy Analyst, NASFAA	Hugh Ferguson Managing Editor	Maria Carrasco Reporter
