CHEA Government Relations a separate path to implement, without regulations, the new provisions of the newHigher education Act Amendments HEA 98 Roundtable held in washington, DC, on http://www.chea.org/Government/index.cfm
Extractions: From: Judith Eaton Re: Final Report on Negotiated Regulations for Accreditation Issues in HEA 98 Date: July 27, 1999 Introduction On June 25, the US Secretary of Education proposed new regulations on accreditation. After six months of complex negotiations, a forty-member team of federal officials and non-federal negotiators reached a final agreement on May 27 on revisions of the federal regulations on ac-creditation. This follows the enactment in October 1998 of the new law amending the Higher Education Act (HEA 98). CHEA is providing this summary of the main regulatory provisions and their implications. CHEA, several accreditation organizations and the major national higher education associations were all participants in these negotiations. The Process The new proposals, formally known as a "Notice of Proposed Rule Making" (NPRM), represent two types of revisions. First, they alter the current accreditation regulations to implement the October 1998 changes in law made by the HEA Amendments of 1998. Second, they rewrite the present regulations into "Plain Language," a government-wide reform to make all regulations easier for the public to use. Both types of revisions are incorporated into a single text. The NPRM has two parts, a "Preamble," which states the US Department of Education (ED) explanation of the proposal, and the actual proposed regulatory language.

Extractions: "We take seriously our responsibility to improve national security and we believe that SEVIS represents the single most important step the federal government can take to improve the retention and reporting of information on international students and exchange visitors," wrote ACE President David Ward on behalf of the higher education community. "We support the prompt implementation of this system and pledge to work cooperatively with the INS in these efforts." First, the specifications and the interface for batch processing must be finalized. Second, the operating software for SEVIS must be made available for purchase, installation, and testing by all institutions in advance of the compliance deadline, including technical assistance and software training. Third, adequate technical training and infrastructure at INS is necessary to ensure that the SEVIS web site is fully interactive for campuses before SEVIS can be said to have gone "live."
Letter To Education Secretary Rod Paige On Negotiated Rulemaking 400 Maryland Avenue, SW washington, DC 20202 process involving the Department of Educationand outside and, ultimately, the substance of government regulations. http://www.acenet.edu/washington/letters/2002/01january/paige.negreg.cfm
Extractions: Washington, DC 20202-0498 Dear Secretary Paige: On behalf of my colleagues listed below, I want to share my deep concern with you about the FED.UP negotiated rulemaking process that the Department of Education is about to begin. More specifically, the composition of the negotiating teams announced by the Department will make it exceptionally difficult for the results of this effort to gain widespread acceptance within the higher education community. Such a result is in no one's interest and I hope that a solution that avoids this outcome can be found. We have strongly supported the FED.UP initiative launched by Congressman "Buck" McKeon and continue to do so. We believe that this important effort has the potential to reduce regulatory burden in a way that will be beneficial for colleges, their students, and the public. Unfortunately, as discussed below, we believe that the Department of Education's efforts in this regard are imperiled. As you know, negotiated rulemaking is a consultative process involving the Department of Education and outside organizations that seeks to improve the process by which rules are developed and, ultimately, the substance of government regulations. The goal is to bring the organizations with a major interest in the issue to the negotiating table to identify potential regulatory problems and to find workable solutions. To be successful, the process requires that the affected parties participate in the process and that the individuals who do so have clear authority to speak on behalf of that part of the community that they represent.

Extractions: WASHINGTON The U.S. Education Department has issued final regulations for the No Child Left Behind education law, but representatives of state school systems said the rules governing enforcement of the sweeping new federal initiative still may result in far too many public schools being designated as failures. State school boards and others have been lobbying federal officials to build flexibility into the regulations that accompany the law, which has been alternately hailed for setting a long-overdue national educational standard and criticized as the biggest federal intrusion ever into local education. Critics said the new rules, issued Tuesday, did not significantly loosen provisions that require states to show consistent improvement in student achievement across racial, ethnic and socioeconomic categories. The law requires that all students make steady progress on state standardized reading and math tests until they reach proficiency. Schools have 12 years to bring all students up to the proficient level. Cowan said the biggest concern among her clients was that student subgroups, including disabled students and those who speak English as a second language, might not be able to meet the initial proficiency goals set out in the law.

State legislatures continued to expand financing for early childhood services in several ways in the past year. At least four states ( Iowa, Kentucky, New York and Texas ) enacted laws providing grants to programs. Some states ( California, Iowa, Kentucky and Texas ) expanded funding through local means. Several states ( Illinois, Montana, Nebraska and Oregon ) created tax credits for either parents or employers to support the care and development of young children. Legislatures in two states ( California and Iowa ) directed loan funds to improve child care services. Two state legislatures (

Extractions: Education in the 108th Congress E very Congress has a two-year life. The 107th Congress ended its sessions in November to make way for the new Congress elected in the same month. The incoming Congress, beginning its sessions in January 2003, will be different from the last one in that both the Senate and the House of Representatives will be controlled by Republicans. The old Congress had a Republican-dominated House of Representatives and a Democratic-controlled Senate. This means that, starting in January, President Bush and the Republicans will have charge of the entire process of making and administering federal laws. Before the current Congress fades into memory, its accomplishments in the area of education ought to be noted. As even its critics acknowledge, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 is a very significant new federal law that will have a major effect on American elementary and secondary education. In addition, the funding increase, which was achieved as part of the compromises leading to that act, has enlarged the federal contribution to education, especially elementary and secondary schooling. Finally, education-related research, development, and evaluation have been put into a new organization in the U.S. Department of Education. These were solid achievements. However, this same Congress failed to reauthorize the expiring Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Still, the 107th Congress will be remembered as a very important one for education.
