Break the Recertification Logjam 

The Department of Education has abdicated its responsibility to review and renew Program Participation Agreements
with almost 700 institutions of higher education. These PPAs are required for schools to participate in the student financial
assistance programs and ultimately offers clarity for schools to accept students. The inability to renew these programs
creates an atmosphere of uncertainty for students and providers alike, and add to the ongoing hostility from the Biden
administration towards untraditional schools like career colleges. The incoming administration has the ability to resolve
this logjam quickly by approving the hundreds of applications that have needlessly been ignored.

Read more about the recertification logjam in our Townhall op-ed: “There’s also a new issue bubbling up as well, as the Biden-Harris administration has failed to review and renew Program Participation Agreements (PPA) of universities. In order for colleges to participate in student financial assistant programs, DOED must issue PPAs. To date, over 700 schools are hanging in the balance as the Department failed to issue agreements in a timely (and lawful) manner.”
