Navigating the Regulatory Landscape: What Business Schools Need to Know
Webinar This webinar will take place 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
The regulatory environment for higher education is evolving rapidly, with significant implications for business schools. This session will examine the latest federal policy and regulatory developments—including rules on graduate student loans, program accountability, the status of the Accreditation, Innovation, and Modernization (AIM) negotiated rulemaking, and Uniform Guidance updates affecting research grants. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of how these changes may impact institutional strategy, operations, accreditation, and research, and leave better equipped to anticipate and respond to an evolving regulatory landscape.
