March 7, 2017 – Washington, DC – In response to the
announcement
from the U.S. Department of Education’s Federal Student Aid office that
it will extend the deadlines for schools to submit alternative earnings
appeals and disclosures until July 1, Steve Gunderson, president &
CEO of Career Education Colleges and Universities (CECU), said the
following:
“We very much
appreciate the Department and the Administration recognizing the
problems with this rule. We have asked them to delay the enforcement and
to conduct a review of the unintended consequences of this rule as it
begins to play out. This is very good news for thousands of students who
seek to complete their career education and begin their careers. We are
prepared to share with the Department how this rule treats identical
programs differently based upon the geography and economy of where the
students live. It is time for constructive conversations.”
