The U.S. Department of Education (ED) has released an updated version of Issue Paper: State Authorization (v3). The Program Integrity and Institutional Quality Committee will consider and discuss the paper during Session 3 of Negotiated Rulemaking, which begins March 4 and concludes March 7.

NC-SARA board members and staff, in collaboration with regional compact staff, are reviewing the paper and will provide updates on our response in the coming days and weeks through our Call to Action webpage and in additional eblasts.

Let your voice be heard! We encourage all members of the SARA community to review the issue paper and consider signing up for public comment to share the value of SARA. At the end of each of the first three days of Negotiated Rulemaking Session 3, the committee will reserve 30 minutes for public comment. The U.S. Department of Education website has instructions for requesting time to comment.

More information about the 2023-2024 Negotiated Rulemaking can be found on the U.S. Department of Education website and on our Call to Action webpage.
