Webinar
As we move into 2026, questions abound regarding the future of the U.S. Department of Education’s regulatory agenda for institutions of higher education.
Please join us on January 27 for a live, 90-minute webinar during which Aaron Lacey, Co-Chair of Thompson Coburn’s Higher Education practice, will examine the status of the various negotiated rulemakings that have occurred over the last six months and look ahead to potential rulemaking activity and policy revisions, including likely timelines for negotiated rulemaking, proposed and final rules, and implementation. Aaron will discuss how these rulemakings fit into the anticipated regulatory priorities for the year ahead and how they align with the administration’s broader education agenda. He will explore related topics, including salient litigation and resource constraints at the Department.
