proposed rule for gainful employment: priviate meetings and

Final List of Private Meetings and Attendees

Proposed Rule for Gainful Employment

December 15, 2010

U.S. Department of Education

“Over the past several weeks, the U.S. Department of Education met with over 50 unique entities to discuss their comments received in response to

the notice of proposed rulemaking for gainful employment published on July 29, 2010. Below you will find the complete list of individuals who

participated on behalf of for-profit institutions, community colleges, higher education organizations, student organizations, and other interested

parties.

As a whole, the discussions resulting from these meetings helped to ensure that the Department underwent a thorough and thoughtful review process

that will ultimately result in a rule that best serves the interests of students and taxpayers alike. The Department appreciates the constructive

viewpoints shared throughout the course of these discussions and is on track to publish a final rule in early 2011.”
