Colleges feel burdened by federal regulation and believe many rules could be eliminated without harming students or taxpayers, according to a new survey of senior college executives and administrators.
The survey, which Congress ordered as part of the 2008 reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, asked respondents about 15 regulations stemming from the law that colleges had identified as being particularly onerous. Administrators described 14 of the 15 rules as “burdensome” or “overly burdensome,” and said many could be eliminated “without losing necessary protections.” They said doing so would yield significant savings that could be used to expand counseling and customer services and increase need-based student aid.
