State Authorization• USDOE regulation requiring state authorization was vacated by US District Court

and that ruling was upheld June 5 by the US Court of Appeals, and that ruling remanded to DOE.  So it’s still not over.  However, state laws remain on the books.– The regulation was vacated not because the state laws are illegal but

because the US Dept of Ed didn’t follow the correct process—so it’s just a technical ruling.  Still must be done.

• Remember the requirement to provide complaint contacts for out-of-state students was not vacated. This is for all students.
