Higher Ed Groups in Survival Mode

Higher Ed Groups in Survival Mode
July 29, 2009
Colleges around the country are laying off employees, freezing or cutting back travel and otherwise reining in their budgets in response to the down economy. And those cutbacks are having a direct and adverse effect on the many national associations that represent the institutions and their employees.
Thirty-eight of 45 organizations in the Washington Higher Education Secretariat, which includes the heads of many of Washington’s major higher education associations, responded to an Inside Higher Ed survey about changes in their financial status from June 1, 2008 to June 1, 2009.

Breaking News-DB Education Alert - Surprise first step towards relief on 90/ 10 rule

21 Jul 2009 - 06:06:15 PM PDT

House committee shows surprise support for the For Profits

The House committee on Education and Labor easily approved (42 to 5) an

amendment today proposing temporary relief on the 90/10 rule for for-profit

schools, along with its approval of the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility

Act of 2009. The 90/10 rule requires for-profit schools to derive at least 10

percent of their revenue from non-Title IV sources. APOL discussed that it

would be just under the threshold in FY09 (YE Aug). This Gov't support for

the For Profits, including from Democrats, may reduce the market's concerns

regarding the regulatory environment. We reiterate our Buys on ESI

and APOL.

Relief would be only temporary but is a step in the right direction

New Jersey rep Robert Andrews (D) offered the amendment which would

give for-profit schools until July 1, 2012 to comply with 90/10 (an extra year),

suspend counting 'emergency loans' in the Federal (Title IV) funding calculation,

and temporarily exclude new Perkins loans from counting against the

10% non-Title IV sources for a two year period.

This bill has a good chance to pass the House before the August recess

We believe the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act, including this new

amendment, has a good chance of House approval prior to the August recess

due to i) the amendment's small size and insignificance relative to the

rest of the bill, ii) strong support of the bill from committee chairman George

Miller, and iii) the relatively un-contentious nature of the bill itself relative to

other pending, and perhaps more difficult, legislation: healthcare, financial

regulation, consumer protection. If approved by the House, the bill will still

require Senate approval. We note that Congress has an October 15 deadline

for this legislation.
