AFSA part of coalition against the “Supporting Academic Freedom through Regulatory Relief Act”
Submits letter to Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions and House Committee on Education and the Workforce
"As organizations working on behalf of students, consumers, veterans, faculty and staff, civil rights and college access, we write to convey our strong opposition to the “Supporting Academic Freedom through Regulatory Relief Act” (HR 970, S 559). In particular, we oppose these bills because they repeal the gainful employment regulation and create new loopholes in the federal ban on incentive compensation, harming both students and taxpayers. "
