Bill > HR1174

This bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to modify the "90/10 rule," which is a regulation that requires for-profit colleges to obtain at least 10% of their revenue from non-federal sources. Specifically, the bill clarifies that revenue generated from distance education programs (online or remote learning programs) can be counted toward the non-federal revenue requirement, regardless of the physical location from which the program is conducted. By allowing revenue from distance education to be included in the 10% non-federal revenue calculation, the bill provides for-profit educational institutions with more flexibility in meeting the existing financial requirements. The bill, titled the "Ensuring Distance Education Act," makes a small but potentially significant change to how these institutions can calculate their funding sources, which could help them maintain eligibility for federal student aid programs by more easily meeting the 90/10 rule's requirements.
