Dive Brief:
- The 30-day comment period for the U.S. Department of Education’s proposed accreditation rules closed Friday, with around 200 new comments submitted and continued opposition over the pace at which the changes have been brought forward.
- Among the comments is a request from the National Student Legal Defense Network (NSLDN) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) for a public hearing on the proposed final rule, which they say is required under the Higher Education Act (HEA).
- The Ed Department has until Nov. 1 to review each response and issue the rule for it to take effect in 2020. However, critics of the process say the department may be cutting it too close.
