What might the new higher-ed task force led by Jerry L. Falwell Jr. put on its agenda? The president of Liberty University, who told The Chronicle on Tuesday that he had been asked by President Trump to head up such a group, said a policy memo from the head of a major higher-ed organization offered “a nice summary” of many of the issues he hopes the panel will take on.
That organization is the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities. And the two-page memo, written by David L. Warren, president of Naicu, highlights several areas “ripest for deregulation in higher education,” including new rules on teacher education, a federal definition of the credit hour, and regulations that require states to create additional consumer protections for students. It also names the new overtime rules, the gainful-employment regulation, and the borrower-defense-to-repayment rule as other possible target areas.
