NASASPS Open Forum: Current Events and Hot Topics

Join NASASPS for an informal open forum focused on the issues currently shaping private postsecondary education regulation and operations. Designed as an “ask the regulator” session for non-regulator members, this webinar will provide an opportunity to raise questions, share perspectives, and hear discussion on timely developments affecting schools and state oversight.

Potential topics include Workforce Pell, recent and pending U.S. Department of Education rules, state-level updates, and other emerging issues of interest to the NASASPS community. All NASASPS members are welcome to attend and participate.

Moderator: John Ware, NASASPS President and Executive Director, Ohio State Board of Career Colleges & Schools
