AACRAO Joins Community Letter Opposing Proposed Revisions to the Education Department General Administrative Regulations

Earlier this year in May, the Office of Management and Budget proposed sweeping changes to its uniform guidance that would effectively put political appointees in control of all federal grant-making decisions, threatening the meritocratic nature of American innovation. Congress has since stopped OMB from implementing these changes as part of the current continuing resolution that will expire on December 11, 2026. However, the Department of Education is attempting to promulgate its own version of OMB’s guidance by proposing revisions to the Education Department General Administrative Regulations. AACRAO joined dozens of other higher education groups in sending a community letter opposing these changes to EDGAR.
