@higheredrachel Also highlights the other #90/10 loophole - fail 90/10 every other year ... and you're good to go! #NegReg

While @usedgov has aggressively collected from borrowers -- the institutions and their owners and executives walked away from more than ONE BILLION DOLLARS owed to taxpayers. #NegReg https://t.co/O117xqd12W

As @usedgov kicks off another day of #NegReg taking about financial responsibility, our recent report on unpaid liabilities is a MUST READ on how the Department has historically let schools walk away from their debts, leaving taxpayers to foot the bill. https://t.co/W3JgMJR9JK

Financial responsibility is a core student/taxpayer protection in the HEA. Unfortunately, in practice, it doesn't work. Before its closure, Vatterott College was allowed to continue to participate in Title IV despite failing the composite score for 12 consecutive years. #NegReg https://t.co/LCD9awW3TZ

@usedgov But to be clear: Quality assurance in higher education is important. But Congress was specific that schools and programs must meet the #GainfulEmployment standard. The fact that multiple authorities exist for different purposes is nothing more than a distraction to #NegReg.

Appreciate the #4profit representative using #NegReg to highlight our paper on the @usedgov Direct Loan Authority. https://t.co/BKp7jCXAQa

Through the #GainfulEmployment statutory language, Congress chose which institutions and programs must meet that requirement. Through the 2014 #GainfulEmployment @usedgov implemented that requirement. It does not apply to all schools and all programs. By statute. #negreg

@MassAGO representative kicks off discussion of #GainfulEmployment #negreg highlighting the importance of reinstating the 2014 Gainful Employment Regulation and using that rule as the baseline for any change. We agree. https://t.co/mSN93UI7TP

@usedgov Despite its legalese disclaimer, @usedgov still lists a number of troubling institutions as being part of the 8 Keys to Veterans Success. cc: @annaleighclark @reporterdavidj @propublica https://t.co/lHxfjosu5y

Even more? According to @usedgov, Baker College has committed itself to assist Veterans and Service members in transitioning to higher education, completing their college programs, and obtaining career-ready skills. https://t.co/xRC0EWoYeT

Whatever @usedgov decides to do via #NegReg, the law does not allow regulatory changes to take effect until July 2023. This is why @usedgov must take every step in its power to protect students *today*. https://t.co/4kdogJSbMV

For-profit colleges enroll 10 percent of US students but account for 50 percent of student-loan defaults. And low-income students are hit the hardest. #NegReg https://t.co/UlSiGWq5xz
