Jill details a recent information collection request from the Department of Education and concerns related to the extent of the collection. David then highlights the murkiness of the end dates of the public health emergency and the general COVID-19 national emergency and in what ways those can impact schools. Hugh then catches listeners up on some news of the week, which included ED's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for an overhaul of gainful employment as well as Education Secretary Miguel Cardona's remarks on the Hill this week concerning the department's budget and oversight requests from Congress.

Work Study Programs are some of the best ways to get work experience while in college. Many students have no choice but to work while attending school. On campus employment provides an opportunity to earn while you learn. For many students it may be their very first paid job. In this episode, we discuss the benefits of applying for campus employment, tips on how to find jobs, and the best ways to maximize your experience.

Enrollment leaders have choices and decisions to make that will impact not only their college or university, but also the future lives of students. Today, on the Enrollment Edge, I dig into the topic of financial aid and college access with Megan Hartless, Coordinator of Financial Aid and Scholarships at Blue Ridge Community College. Megan is a veteran of building unique and effective financial aid policies that target providing access to higher education. As the landscape of college enrollment changes in the coming years, it is estimated that access to financial resources for first generation and high-need students will increase. College financial aid and enrollment leaders will have to be intentional about providing the limited available financial resources if they hope to enroll and graduate those students. Bottom line? Many colleges will have to shift their aid model from providing what students want, to providing what they need. About our GuestMegan Hartless accidentally began her career in financial aid in 2003 as a graduate assistant doing Federal Work Study at Virginia Commonwealth University while pursuing her MFA in Theatre Pedagogy. After graduating in 2006, she continued her gluttony for punishment and decided to pursue a long-term career in financial aid. She worked in the financial aid office at Mary Baldwin College (now University) for eight years, ending her tenure there as Associate Director in 2014. She has also taught Public Speaking and Communications courses at VCU, John Tyler Community College, and Blue Ridge Community College. She presently serves as the Coordinator of Financial Aid at Blue Ridge Community College in Weyers Cave, Virginia.

This week on "Off The Cuff," Justin, Megan, and Allie cover a lot of ground catching up on the latest news in DC. First, Megan catches us up on a fix lawmakers are voting on to fix the "kiddie tax" issue that surfaced last week, as a provision in the Republicans' tax overhaul that raised the tax rate on unearned income, and inadvertently impacted low-income families. Justin discusses a recent proposal from President Donald Trump that would funnel money from the Pell Grant program reserve fund to NASA. The team also discusses ED's plans for a Federal Work-Study experimental site that would expand eligible jobs for students, and a House oversight subcommittee hearing on for-profit colleges. Plus, the team tackles billionaire Robert Smith's pledge to pay off the Morehouse College Class of 2019's student loan debt. Skip to 7:25 to get straight to the policy discussion!

In a special episode of "Off The Cuff," Justin, Megan, Stephen, and Karen answer member questions on the House Republicans' Higher Education Act reauthorization bill, the PROSPER Act. Following up on a mid-December webinar focused on the basics of the new bill, members of the policy team dig into more specific questions on some of the bill's provisions. The team explains the philosophy behind some of the lawmakers' proposals, and explains how certain aspects of the bill — such as a revised R2T4 calculation and "aid like a paycheck" — might work together. The team also answers questions related to the Pell Grant program, student loans and repayment, counseling, and the Federal Work-Study program.
