	Yes, we’re processing PJs now using families estimated projected income for the next 12 months
	Yes, but we’re asking families to wait a specified amount of time (ex: 12 weeks) from the time their income was impacted before allowing them to estimate income for the rest of the year
	No, we’re waiting until the family files their 2020 taxes before doing a PJ
	We’re not doing PJs

Podcast 28

Very Important Podcast #28

Listen to Howard Leslie and Aaron Lacey (Partner Thomson and Coburn LLP) discuss recent guidance from the Education Department, as well as pending legislation in Washington DC, as it pertains to student and administrative relief for the COVIN-19 National Emergency.

Get clarification on what schools can do NOW vs. what they may be able to do in the near FUTURE.

Should schools document what they are doing in response to the current challenges? If yes, should schools be providing all that information to the State, Accreditors and ED?

After lengthy discussions on the Coronavirus, and going into some silver lining predications (such as the final outcomes for institutions of higher education), Aaron spends 15 minutes discussing what Howard originally intended when booking him a month ago. That includesWashington DC activity pertaining to:

The Future of Gainful Employment (yes – not totally gone)

Borrower Defense

State Authorization

Online Learning

Title IX

Then the podcast ends on Howard and Aaron’s thoughts on election impacts.
