Insiders weigh in on recent federal developments in higher education, such as the Department of Education’s experimental site initiative with non-accredited providers, the rise in defense to repayment claims by students, and the Office of the Inspector General’s audit of Western Governors University and the institution’s competency-based programs. In this survey, Insiders also discuss whether states will continue to participate in federally funded testing consortia, and what K-12 and higher ed issues should be part of the 2016 Presidential election.
