The survey is part of the Higher Education Regulations Study, which was mandated by Congress and is being conducted by the Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance. The Advisory Committee has partnered with many of the national higher education associations, including NASFAA, to raise awareness of the survey and encourage participation. In these tough economic times, we recognize some schools are unable to pay for membership in the national associations, so I am reaching out to each state association in hopes of expanding the partnership in order to reach as many campuses as possible. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I would appreciate if you could forward this note to individual members so that all administrators in your state receive this information. Multiple individuals at a single institution can complete the survey.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The web-based survey is completely anonymous and confidential. An independent contractor is hosting the survey on behalf of the Advisory Committee. A strong, diverse response from the higher education community is one of the best ways to provide feedback to Congress and the Secretary of Education regarding regulatory burden. The attached letter from the Advisory Committee’s Chair and Vice Chair provides an overview and link for the survey. The survey closes on June 6, 2011. The results of the survey will be part of a final report we’ll be delivering to Congress later this year. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If anyone has questions or needs additional information, I can be reached via email or at my work number below.
