Rules Banning Transcript Holds, Expanding Overtime Now in Effect

A host of new federal regulations took effect Monday, and Education Department officials say the new rules make up part of “the most effective system ever to oversee predatory and low-quality institutions of postsecondary education.” Several of those regulations and other changes that became effective July 1 are facing legal challenges, and some have been blocked. Whether they remain in place may depend on how federal courts interpret Friday’s Supreme Court ruling that limits the regulatory power of federal agencies—and on the outcome of the presidential election in November.
