New Regulations That Impact Your Campus Interstate Education & Compliance Requirements

The U.S. Department of Education has recently been discussing and drafting regulatory language that, if adopted, would substantially change how institutions oversee interstate education and where they may or may not be able to deliver degree programs. Failure to understand and satisfy such regulatory requirements would carry significant and costly legal penalties for institutions.
