Bracing for Significant Regulatory Changes –
SOLD OUT!!!
Individual registration is required. For more information, please see our Purchasing FAQs below.
The clock is ticking for several of the new regulations that have been promised in the government’s regulatory agenda. New Office of Management and Budget grants guidance rules (UGG), revisions to the Department of Education’s General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR), and changes to program-specific regulations for Title IX, the Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP), and the Community Eligibility Program (CEP) are all expected in the next few months. This will come as colleges, school districts and States attempt to close out some stimulus dollars and round out others, all without yet knowing what the federal funding picture will look like in the coming year.
With this flood of information expected, you may need some help sorting through the changes that impact you the most. The Bruman Group’s fall forum will help you untangle all the changing rules and requirements and chart a path forward. Come hear from firm attorneys, government officials, peers in administration, and other experts on how best to address these shifts and solve problems.
This year’s Forum will feature presentations from U.S. Department of Education leaders, oversight staff, panelists from States, districts, and institutions of higher education, and our attorney experts. Networking sessions and Q&A panels will help you share successes and strategize about moving forward amid a new regulatory environment. We will be conducting two pre-sessions on EDGAR, one will highlight the responsibilities of pass-through agencies, and the other will profile the responsibilities of LEAs, charters and institutions of higher education. (See draft Agenda).
In light of our focus on the changes to the cost, administrative and audit rules under the UGG, we anticipate that the forum will sell out quickly, and we will need to maintain a wait list. We urge you to register early to guarantee your place.
