1840-AD57 202310 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1840 Office of Postsecondary Education OPE 1800 Department of Education ED Gainful Employment

The Secretary proposed regulations related to GE to address ongoing concerns about educational programs designed to prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation, but that instead leave them with unaffordable amounts of student loan debt in relation to their earnings.  We further seek to provide additional transparency by providing information about all academic programs at postsecondary institutions that are eligible under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA).
