A Lump of Coal for SARA and Other Goodies in the State Authorization Regulations - Russ Poulin and Cheryl Dowd, WCET Frontiers

The U.S. Department of Education released its final version of the its long-awaited regulations on “State Authorization of Postsecondary Distance Education, Foreign Locations” earlier today. They will be published next week with an effective date of July 1, 2018. What is proposed may be bad for the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement, but the regulations may be all for naught. It is highly likely that these regulations will be killed in the next few months. This post will provide some initial highlights and reactions. Additional analyses will be forthcoming. https://wcetfrontiers.org/2016/12/16/a-lump-of-coal-for-sara-and-other-goodies-in-the-state-authorization-regulations/
