Maureen, Kim, and Chandra,
We're looking forward t o our meeting on Wednesday. We thought it would be helpful t o
send you a note in advance providing some background to the meeting.
As you know, the 2008 Higher Education Act amendments required the Secretary to
conduct an evaluation of promising strategies and practices in Upward Bound as a means
to helping grantees improve their projects. Given the President's goal of expanding
col lege access and college completion, the Department believes this type of st udy could
be useful for t he broader set of TRIO programs and is investing time and resources in
crafti ng a thoughtful study design. IES is working with OPE and OPEPD on t his project.
We're still in a very early phase and hope to get your input.
ED recently awarded a five-year contract to Decision Information Resources, Inc., to
determine the feasibility of various approaches to designing a rigorous study that does
not use random assignment and provide options for implementation of those approaches
for Upward Bound and other TRIO programs. The cont ractor will examine how they can
use performance reports, st ate data syst ems, and possibly new surveys to develop a
research design that will link variation in implement ation to outcomes. If feasible, the
contract or will conduct an eval uation of Upward Bound focusi ng on the potent ial
effectiveness of different approaches to current elements or potential features of

HBCU Education Deans:
Greetings to all! I look forward to seeing you next week. I am following up on
communications you have been receiving from Dean Cassandra Herring from Hampton
University. I thank Dean Herring and her assistant, Dawn, for pulling us all together to
meet next week! Starting at 1 pm next Wednesday, November 10, 2010, we will huddle
on the sth floor of Department of Education headquarters (the LBJ Building at 400
Maryland Ave. SW -- room SC100). The purpose of the meeting is to share information
about our teacher production agenda, and to hear your ideas about how we can partner
with HBCUs to enhance HBCU teacher production. The meeting is scheduled to last
roughly two hours. Joining me will be several of the most important architects of our
K-12 programming. We trust that you will arrive engaged and excited about exploring
new ideas and solutions for meeting some of our toughest challenges!
To add to the texture and int rigue of the day, the meeting will now be PRECEDED by a
special event to be held at Howard University, from 11:30 to 12:30 next Wednesday as
well. Secretary Arne Duncan and musical artist, John Legend will hold a dialogue with
Howard University students as part of our national TEACH campaign- a campaign
designed to encourage more of our brightest students to enter the teaching
profession. By attending this event as our special highlighted guests, you will be able to
hear from (and perhaps greet) the Secretary and John Legend, as well get a fuller idea of
our "in action" efforts to dramatically improve and promote education in America.
This event is just coming together, so I apologize for the late notice. We do not yet have
the precise location and other details, but we will get that to you in a day or two. Trust
that once you make it to Howard University, we will provide transportation to the
department where we will hold our more focused meeting. PLEASE PLAN to begi n your
visit with us next Wednesday at Howard University! Details to follow ...

DC Deprtment of Sanger David &
Ed Conversatio ... Talbert Report ...
Background:
We are very fortunate to be able to spend some time with renowned Superintendent
Marc Johnson from Sanger Unified School District who will be in town for the Blue Ribbon
Schools ceremony. As many of you recall, this school district was featured in Michael
Fullan' s book "All Systems Go" due to the high quality capacity building and systems
change work that has taken place there. Superintendent Johnson has a relentless belief
that ALL students can learn and has proven that to be the case while turning around his
high poverty rural district.
Superintendent Johnson will share the following:
Overview of the capacity building and systems level reform implemented in
Sanger Unified School District
Overview of CORE (California Office to Reform Education)
Perspective on how the US Department of Education and State Education
Agencies can better support the implementation of its reforms at the district
level
Perspective on how the Department's reforms support and hinder efforts in
districts
Please come prepared for a candid and open conversation- Superintendent Johnson
"tells it like it is" and is open to any questions regarding on-the-ground implementation
of reforms. Looking forward to a great discussion!
"Schools don't fail because of the needs of the kids, it's because the adults fail to meet
the needs of the kids""' Superintendent Marc Johnson

Hi Keith,
I can confirm that the actual dates of the Education Mjnisterial meeting are 4-5
November but Under Secretary Kanter should be present for a meeting of the
Bureau (of which she is now a member) whlch will take place the evening before
so she should certainly arrive on the 3rd. And if she leaves on the 6
111
that will be
fine as far as our meetings are concerned.
The regular EDPC meeting is on 18
1
h and 19
111
November. There too, there is
usually a bureau meeting or dinner the evening before a committee meeting.
On the other hand, the dates of24-29 November we don' t know what that could
be. I've checked with Barbara Ischinger, Andreas Schleicher and others here and
they are not planning a meeting here on those dates.

New dates for the Sth Session of the Education Policy Committee:
Thursday 18 November 2010 - Friday 19 November 2010
During the last EDPC meeting, the German delegate asked whether it was possible
to hold a full EDPC meeting in November, instead of the planned shortened
meeting on the afternoon ofFriday 5th November 2010, immediately after the
closing session of the 2010 Education Ministerial.
The Bureau discussed thls request at their debriefing meeting on Thursday 14
April 2010, and agreed that a single afternoon was too short a time slot given the
number of issues to be discussed at the 8th session ofthe EDPC, including the
report from the Evaluation Committee that was originall y scheduled to be
discussed at the last meeting.
The EDPC Bureau decided to reschedule the dates and hold the next EDPC
meeting from 9:30am on Thursday 18 November 2010- to 18:00pm on

Colleagues,
I am writi ng to invi te you to a meeting with Nicole Chestang of the GED Testing Service
(GEDTS) on November 23, f rom 9:30am-10:30am. You may have heard that GEDTS is
pursuing a number of significant changes to the GED test that wi ll be implemented in
2014. Some of those changes include aligning test content to the common core standards
to certify HS equivalency as well as CCR, moving from a norm-referenced test to a
criterion-referenced performance standards, and instead of having a single pass score,
providing a range of proficiency levels to expand uses of the test. I hope you, or
someone f rom your staff, can join us for this important discussion.
I will have my staff follow up with an Outlook meeting request shortly.
Best,
Brenda

Senior Staff Special Briefing-Early learning -- Secretary's Conference Room
When: Monday, December 13, 2010 8:30AM-9:30AM (GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US &
Canada).
Colleagues,
As part of the Early Learning Strategic Goal to improve child outcomes for children from
birth through third grade, Senior Advisor Jacqueline Jones will be hosting a series of
briefings around improving the quality and effectiveness of the early learning workforce.
On Monday, December 13th from 8:30-9:30AM, Maurice Sykes, Executive Director of the
Early Childhood Leadership Institute at the University of the District of Columbia, and a
team of Deans and Early Learning professionals from the District of Columbia's
universities and colleges, will provide a briefing to the Senior Staff on the "DC Early
Childhood Higher Education Collaborative."
Background
Recognizing the contributions of high-quality early education to chi ldren's long-term
educational success, to the District's educational reform agenda, its efforts to promote a
robust workforce development system, and to support the city's overall economic vitality,
the Council of the District of Columbia unanimously passed the Pre-K Enhancement and
Expansion Act of 20008.
This historic piece of legislation made voluntary access to high-quality pre-kindergarten
education available to all 3 and 4 year olds residing in the District of Columbia.
In addition to making provisions, in the legislation, for program expansion and quality
improvement, a major component of the legislation mandates that by 2014 all teachers of
3 and 4 year olds, in the District, regardless of auspices, must hold a bachelor's degree

and assistant teachers must hold an associate's degree. In order to accelerate the
implementation of this law the Council, in 2010, enacted the Pre-K Clarification and
Acceleration Emergency Act thus creating what is known as the DC Early Childhood
Higher Education Collaborative.
As a newly established entity in the economic/political fabric of DC, the Collaborative has
initiated pioneering work both as individual institutions and as collaborating partners.
Performance outcomes include:
1) Develop a governance structure
2) Expand understanding of pre-k workforce-specific issues
3) Assess capacity to fulfill the vision
4) Overcome institutional barriers to realization of the vision and mission

For-profit colleges may Jose access to student aid over recruiter
bonuses
John Lauerman
For-profit colleges that pay recruiters on the basis of the number of
students they sign up may lose access to U.S. government student aid,
which provided the colleges with $26.5 billion last year and can account for
as much as 90 percent of company revenue.
The Department of Education, seeking to strengthen oversight of the for-
profit college sector, is considering boosting fines and disqualifying
colleges from participating in federal-aid programs when they give bonuses
to admissions officers for enrolling more students, said James Kvaal,
deputy undersecretary of education, in a telephone interview.
For-profit colleges got about 23 percent of all federal student grants and
loans that went to U.S. universities in 2008-09, according to the U.S.
Government Accountability Office, while educating about 12 percent of all
students.
The Education Department plans, in July, to make incentive compensation
for recruiters illegal , removing 12 types of exemptions, or "safe harbors,"
that were put into place in 2002 under President George W. Bush. At that
time, the department's enforcement power was reduced to levying fines,
Mr. Kvaal said. Revoking aid eligibility would be used rarely to punish
widespread violations, he said.
"We take our responsibility to prevent these abuses very seriously," Mr.
Kvaal said. "We're going to look at what tools we need to make sure the
law is being followed. "
For-profit colleges have come under growing scrutiny as Secretary Arne
Duncan prepares tighter industry regulations and Senate and House
committees examine how for-profit colleges mislead applicants, target
veterans and register student default rates that are at least double those of
traditional universities. Republicans are raising objections to tougher
regulations as they prepare to take control of the House of Representatives
in January.
Republican Sens. Richard Burr and Tom Coburn on Nov. 17 called for an
investigation of government disclosure of proposed regulations restricting
federal aid to Phoenix-based Apollo Group Inc., which operates the
University of Phoenix; Pittsburgh-based Education Management Corp.,
318 4/22/2011 9:21 AM
FOIA Page 1290

Kvaal, James
which operates Art Institutes; and other for-profit colleges.
Mr. Burr, of North Carolina, and Mr. Coburn, of Oklahoma, said they were
concerned that the Education Department might have leaked the proposed
regulations, known as "gainful employment," to supporters of the rules and
investors who stood to benefit, according to a letter to the agency's Office
of the Inspector General. The rules, which would tie eligibility for student
aid to loan repayment rates by for-profit college graduates, contributed to
the decline in education company stocks.
The Education Department gave the rules under embargo to reporters,
who then contacted sources for comment after the close of normal market
trading, Justin Hamilton, a department spokesman, said Nov. 18. The
department operated with "transparency and integrity," he said.
Wyoming Sen. Mike Enzi, the highest-ranking Republican on the education
committee, said in a Sept. 30 hearing that Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom
Harkin, who has held three hearings on for-profit college abuses, was
"beating up" on for-profit colleges.
The Education Department has never made a college ineligible for financial
aid programs for incentive-compensation violations and stopped
considering the penalty in 2002 under the Bush administration. Mr. Kvaal
declined to say when officials would decide whether to restore the
enforcement measure.
Harris Miller, president of the Washington-based Association of Private
Sector Colleges & Universities, which represents the industry, declined to
comment.
For-profit colleges are permitted to get up to 90 percent of their revenue
from U.S. student grants and loans.
On Aug. 4, the GAO, the investigational arm of Congress, released the
results of an undercover probe in which investigators taped Apollo's
University of Phoenix recruiters making misleading statements to "mystery
shopper" agents. Recruiters from Education Management and Washington
Post Co.'s Kaplan education unit were also taped making misleading
statements to GAO investigators.
Last year, Apollo agreed to pay $78.5 million to settle a whistleblower
lawsuit charging recruiters received incentive compensation at the
University of Phoenix. Apollo eliminated enrollment targets from its
recruiters' payment terms as of Sept. 1, said Manny Rivera, a company
spokesman, in an e-mail.
The Education Department has hired 60 investigators in its Federal
Student Aid office and plans to increase the number of annual program
reviews at institutions by 50 percent, to 300, over the next two years, Mr.
Kvaal said. Both Apollo and DeVry Inc., the Downers Grove, 11 1.-based
parent company of DeVry University, will undergo program reviews
beginning in December, the companies have said.

To: Kvaal, James
Subject: RE: Kvaal - Shaping a Future Pew Project
Dear Jim,
Per Scott Winship's earlier email, I am following up regarding Pew's exploration into new
work on "the American Fami ly." As he mentioned, we'd like to set up a meeting to
garner your input on questions such as:
1) Emergent Issues: What research questions or policy areas do think will be most
critical to shaping your field over the next 5 years?
2) Orphaned Issues: Are there important issues within your field that you believe
have not attracted the attention they deserve from other organizations?
3} Recommended Resources: Do you have recommendations on papers,
organizations, or other experts to consult on any of the issues you mentioned
above? Who do you consider to be current players in the f ield?
If you have a half hour to an hour free over the next several weeks when we could come
by your office or meet you for lunch, please reply back with some available times and the
best number to reach you, and I will follow up to schedule a time. If a meeting is not

Subject: Shaping a Future Pew Project
Dear Jim,
I hope this email finds you well . I'm writing in my capacity as research manager at Pew's
Economic Mobility Project to see whether we might tap your expertise for an exploratory
effort underway here. This fall, Pew's Economic Policy Group was merged into the Pew
Center on the States, and EMP was approved by the Pew board through March 2012. I
have been tasked with leading an internal workgroup to brainstorm the broader PCS
structure that would house EMP and/or other projects down the road. Specifically, Pew
is considering initiating new work around the idea of "the American Family'. Our framing
is elastic enough at this early stage that it encompasses issues ranging from economic
insecurity and safety net programs to parenting, homeownership, education, asset
building, and anything else that could plausibly fit under the rubric.
Needless to say, we need to narrow down the focus to specific issues, research
questions, or populations that could serve as the focus for one or more new projects that
might be launched in 2012 and beyond. I have a fairly tight timeframe within in which to
produce some recommendations to PCS's managing director, and I hope to conduct a
number of interviews with leading policy thinkers such as yourself over the next month
or two.
EMP's senior associate, Lauren Wechsler, will follow up with an email providing more
detail on what we hope to gain from our interviews and requesting a meeting. If you can
help us with this important undertaking, I would be grateful if you could give her some
times that might work for a meeting with us over the next few weeks. Thank you for
your consideration, and do let me know if you have any questions about the broader
undertaking. Best, Scott

Sent: Thu Dec 30 10:53:29 2010
Subject: HEA Reauthorization/Quality Question
Hi Martha. As a fallow up to the conversation we had last week with Dennis Jones, I just
had a terrific discussion today with Dennis, Peter, Dewayne, and Holly about the issues
related to quality and HEA reauthorization. Lumina may be able to play a useful role as
convener and analytic resource for these discussions. Our general sense is that what is
needed is a broader discussion about how to link what is already being done in the space
of rethinking what quality is-that is, focusing on the learning and labor market
outcomes-in ways that make sense from a federal policy perspective. This will require
some significant work over the course of the next year. We all know that there have been
several failed attempts to get this right over the last 20 years, and that is due in no small
part to a lack of advance planning.

Kvaal, James
The basic idea would be for Lumina to serve as convener- and I mean that in an
expansive sense- of discussions about wrapping our arms around these issues. What is
the role of states? What role do institutions play in the process? And perhaps most
importantly, how do we incorporate what is already being done- the Lumina degree
profile work, VSA, the efforts of NACIQI, etc. - into this conversation? To get at these
questions will require some analytics as well as a series of discussions throughout 2011
with the key players. Obviously this is an area where NCHEMS would have a significant
role.
We were hoping that you, Eduardo, and others would be available to meet with us during
the week of January 10 for some further conversation. The best date for all of us is
January 11- any chance that works on your end?
Happy New Year!
Jamie

Subject: White House Meeting on College Completion: Please RSVP
December 21J 2010
Dear James KvaalJ
On behalf of the Institute for Higher Education PolicyJ College
BoardJ and HCM strategistsJ we would like to invite you to a
roundtable discussion about federal advancement of the national
postsecondary completion agenda. The meeting will be held on FridayJ
January 14J 2011 from 10:30-Noon at the White House (meeting room
TBD).
In July 2010J several organizations that care deeply about increasing
postsecondary success for students met with representatives of the
Obama administration to discuss the advancement of the President's
postsecondary completion agenda. The discussion was centered around
solutions that could advance the movement within existing statutory
authority and resources. Since that timeJ several groups have
continued to meet or otherwise communicate with the White House and
Department of Education to reiterate commitment to completion goals
and potential administrative means that could advance the effort.
As federal and state budgets continue to deteriorateJ no new funding
appears on the horizon. It is thus imperative that we do more with
existing or reduced financial resources. States and institutions need
creative solutions that will improve postsecondary success rates for
all studentsJ particularly adult and part-time learnersJ and those
from underrepresented minority and low-income backgrounds.
We are eager to continue the conversation that took place in July and

Please let Lorelle Espinosa (lespinosa@ihep.org; 202-861-8227) know
by January 7th whether you will be able to attend the January 14th
meeting. Please note that this invitation is non-transferable. A

Agenda:
Research universities play two vital roles in the country, carrying out
scientific R&D and providing education. This meeting is to be an informal
opening discussion as to ways the federal government and universities
can work together to make it possible for universities to better fill both of
these roles.
We have identified and begun discussing two specific important issues:
How to sustain the capacity of U.S. universities to be among
international leaders in research given present financial challenges
to the institutions. We see two key ways that federal funding
policies have contributed to and might be changed to help this
situation:
more appropriately sharing of research costs by the federal
government (and other funders),
dealing with the growth in costs to universities of
compliance with increasing government regulation
How to enhance undergraduate STEM education, both increasing
the number of STEM graduates and increasing the scientific
literacy of all graduates, by taking better advantage of
improvements in instructional methods that research in science
education has discovered
This discussion is intended to share ideas for how universities and federal
agencies might work together to address these two issues, including how
to effectively engage the broader APLU and AAU memberships, as well as
the key federal agencies. We can also consider if there are any other
issues of comparable importance that should be raised in this larger
discussion of enhancing the relationship between research universities
and the federal government in order to better serve the needs of the
country and world.

Hello all,
It is with both enthusiasm and heavy hearts that we invite you to a farewell celebration for
our own Judy Wurtzel, who will be leaving the Department to spend some well-deserved
time with her family before moving on to her next venture. Whi le we wish her all the best on
this exciting chapter in her life, her departure will be felt deeply by all who have met and
worked with her. It is no exaggeration to call her irreplaceable.
Please help us mark this bittersweet occasion by joining us for a Bon Voyage-themed
celebration next Friday, February 4, from 3:30-5:30 PM in the Secretary's Conference
Room.
Judy has impacted so many during her time here, so please forward this invite to others we
have most certainly missed.
Thank you,

Julie Miceli (OGC) is leading an Oversight Coordination Team along with Jodie Fingland
(OLCA), Matt Yale (OS) and Justin Hamilton (OCO). The team will track each information
request and provide guidance to POCs that are charged with collecting and reviewing
information responsive to each request.
To launch this effort and further explain the role of the Oversight Coordination Team, OS
is sponsoring a training session for all SES and political staff (GS 13 and above). This
training will explain the oversight response process, your responsibilities, and how the
team can help POC's timely respond to requests.
So you all have an opportunity to attend, we will hold two trainings, the first on
JANUARY 20th 11AM-12NOON in Barnard Auditorium and the second on February pt
1:30-2:30PM in the large training room (rm 1W105/108) ..
Please be sure to attend one of these sessions. Thanks!

AOTC description:
Education credits are available to help offset the costs of higher education for
taxpayers, their spouses and dependents who qualify as eligible students. The
Recovery Act provided funding to address college affordability and improve
access to higher education. One tax provision amended the existing Hope Credit
to allow a refundable tax credit {AOTC) for higher education expenses up to
$4,000 for Tax Years (TV) 2009 and 2010. The AOTC is calculated at a rate of 100
percent of the first $2,000 of expenses plus 25 percent of the next $2,000,
creating a maximum possible credit of $2,500 per student. The first 40 percent of
the credit (up to $1,000) is fully refundable.
Through May 28, 2010, 11.5 million taxpayers received $17.1 billion in education
credits on their 2009 tax returns, including $7.1 billion in refundable
AOTC. During the same period last year, 7.2 million taxpayers had received total
education credits of $7.1 billion on their 2008 tax returns.

The Air and Space West Educational Foundation proposes to transform
northern California' s Bay Area
Moffett Field' s historic Hangar One into a world class STEM (Science,
Technology, Education, Math) education center, anchored by a
Smithsonian
Science Museum. This Smithsonian "Earth, Air, and Space Center" will
leverage
lab, education, real estate, and research resources available from our
immediately adjacent neighbors NASA Ames Research Center, and
University
Associates (a higher education collaborative between the University of
California,
the Foothill-De Anza Community College District, and other institutions).
Hangar One is one of the Bay Area' s most recognizable landmarks. The
massive
hangar, constructed in the 1930s to house the Navy airship USS Macon, is
a key
element in the Shenandoah Plaza National Historic District. After toxic
materials
were found in its once high-tech skin, Hangar One was saved from
demolition by
the vigorous grassroots effort of the local community. NASA, since 1994
the
custodian of Moffett Field, has committed tore-skin the hangar and
supports
appropriate reuse.
The Foundation expects to be funded primarily from private sources, and it
is
seeking no federal funding at this time. Rather, we seek to lay the
groundwork for
partnerships with government agencies that share our mission.
Lenny Siegel, Executive Director of the Center for Public Environmental
Oversight, is one of the environmental movement's leading experts on
military
base restoration and reuse. He has overseen the cleanup of Moffett Field
since
1989, and he currently serves as Chair of the Hangar One Subcommittee
of the
Moffett Field Restoration Advisory Board. He formed the Save Hangar One
Committee in 2005.

Sub,ject: Hi Mr. Kvaal- referred by Dr. Kantor
Hi Mr. Kvaal
I'm working on a story for the American Prospect about the gainful employment
rule and Sen. Harkin's hearings. I spoke to Dr. Kantor this morning after the house
hearing on Pe11 Grants. She said you would be able to help me figure out how
much the rule will impact programs at private non-profit and public institutions
compared with for-profit institutions. I read at New America that fewer programs
at for-profits will be impacted than at other institutions. (Link). Here's Craig Smith
from the AFT:
"The regulation actua11y applies to ALL career education programs whether at a
publi c community college, a private coll ege or a for-profit college. In fact, the
regulation applies to more programs in the public sector than any other sector. The
fact that the majority of"bad actors" are in the for-profit sector is a problem with
the sector not the regulation."
This statement contradicts some of Dr. Kantor's testimony from earlier today (not
faulting her, just trying to clarify). I'm hoping you can help me untangle this knot.
Thank you!

In-person interview with Daniel DeVise, Washington Post -- James' office
From: Daniel deVise <devised@washpost.com>
To: Hamilton, Justin
Sent: Mon Mar 14 15:06:22 2011
Subj ect: gainful employment questions
Justin, thanks very much for any help on this story.
I am trying to locate and interview actual for-profit students to figure out whether they
consider themselves to be a group in need of protection: Are they worried about how
much they're borrowing? About how much they'll earn after completing the program?
Would they be more comfortable if the government stepped in to protect students from
risky borrowing against uncertain future earnings? That sort of thing.
Because I've been away from this sector for some time, I'd greatly appreciate some help
from someone smart at the ED on a few basic points: Now that the proposed regulation
has been (more than) thoroughly vetted, what's your best guess about how this affects
students? What share of academic programs get shut down? What share face
restrictions? What share pass muster? Are there specific programs of study more or less
likely to fail the gainful employment tests? Are there entire schools, such as perhaps
DeVry or Strayer, that will be unaffected because they have stronger gainful employment
records?
Thanks. My tentative reporting deadline is the end of Weds.

Team,
This Friday, March 18, we're kicking off a new series of Fun Friday events with an NCAA
March Madness (read: college basketball) watch party in the Secretary's Conference
Room. Please join us! Tarik Barrett (OVAE), Franklyn Duporte (OGC} and Kristen Adams
(OLCA) are co-hosting. Please let them know if you can bring some refreshments and/or
want to help organize a fun activity while we watch the games (bring in your old back-of-

We're also doing a March Madness bracket competition. Please get your completed
brackets to Kristen Adams {6W352) by 10 am, Thursday, March 17. (Tarik was the big
winner last year so, per Susan Winchell's recommendation, we're keeping him away from
the forms this year.) Here's a link to an empty bracket (or you can find another one for

Location: 223 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE Washington DC
It is with mixed emotions that I write to tell you, this day, 29th of
**MARCH** 2011 an no domini, we must bid adieu to our friend, colleague,
blood donor, and bringer of world peace, Sandra Abrevaya, who is departing
the green gabled pastures of education reform to make camp for 1600
Pennsylvania.
As Sandra moves from saving children to saving all of America, we will
gather to toast her time with us, and wish her well, and remind her about
why she shouldn't really go because, well, she is just always going to like
the folks over here just a little more ... just a little.
So, you, yes you, are part of a select group carefully culled for this
mission: to send Sandra off in style.
Mark your calendars for this Thursday at 6:30pm, Sonoma Restaurant & Wine
Bar. Look forward to it!

Meeting w/ Big 6 on Pel(. higher ed -- 430 A
Purpose of tomorrow's meeting is to rally the troops around Pell, but also to hear them out on
other issues of concern. Terry Hartle has already signaled that the state authorization regulations
(which were part of the first round of program integrity rules- before gainful) will be an issue. We

want to share our agenda, of course, but also provide time for them to react, discuss, and bring
up any other issues that we had not mentioned (e.g. state authorization). By the end of the
meeting, we hope to have some general consensus about moving forward on Pell funding and
have them feel "heard" by the Administration.
The invitation that went out to ACE, AASCU, AACC, NAICU, AAU and APLU is below. So far, I am
expecting all of the presidents except for David from NAICU to be in attendance.
Cyndy Littlefield (AJCU) and Justin Draeger {NASFAA) also being invited. Please let me know if
others should be on the list as well (time is running short, and all of these staff were given a heads
up about the meeting on Friday).
Dear Colleagues,
As we strive to ensure that America once again leads the world in college graduates by 2020, we
felt it necessary and appropriate to come together to discus key issues facing the higher
education community. Of course, one of the most pressing issues includes the crisis facing Pell
grants, that if not handled quickly and responsibly, could affect more than 9 million of our
country's neediest students.
We hope that you are able to join us at the White House on Tuesday, April sth at noon for a
conversation with some of our colleagues from the U.S. Department of Education and key staff
working on higher education within the White House. If you are able to attend, with a staff
member or two, please fill out this form to gain access to the White House complex and return it
to us as soon as possible, but no later than COB today.
We look forward to hearing your ideas.
Best,
Zakiya Smith and Roberto Rodriguez

More than 100 million Americans possess a criminal history record (arrest and/ or
conviction) on file in state repositories, with an additional 14 million arrests recorded
annually (with more than 44% of those arrested under the age of 24). There are
currently more than 5 million Americans on probation or parole. One in every 32
adults in tl1e U.S. is under some form of correctional control or supervision. More
than 700,000 people are released annuall y from state and federal prisons, witl1 9
million cycling in and out of state and locaJ jails every year.
A survey by the Center for Community Alternatives (CCA), in collaboration witl1 tl1e
American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO),
suggests that people with criminal histories are facing increasing obstacles to college
access. These, along witl1 otl1er findings, are included the CCA report "The Use of
Criminal History Records in College Admissions: RECOr SIDERED."
How is this relevant to the President's 2020 completion goal?
Does this trend promote or detract from public safety?
Are there significant civil rights issues?
Is there a federal role in identifying and responding to tlUs issue?
Please join me on Thursday, April 7rh at 10:00 a.m. for a discussion of the
report's fmdings and their potential implications. Presenting will be Marsha
Wasserman, Executive Director, and AJan Rosentl1al, Director of Justice Strategies;
both witl1 the Center for Community Alternatives in r ew York City, Y. A January

Education and can be accessed at:

Additional background:
In December 2010, Attorney General Holder reached out to Secretary Duncan and
otl1er Cabinet Secretaries asking them to join him in an Administration reentry

Team,
I am sending this note on behalf of Martha and Arne.
OUS is invited to attend the "appreciatED" Town Hall event for tomorrow, Tuesday, April
19 from !0:30am to ll:OOam at the Barnard Auditorium in LBJ. Arne will be taking this
oppottunity to acknowledge our accomplishments, listen to our thoughts, and answer our
questions.
As you may remember, last fall Arne and the senior team began holding a series of events
called "appreciatED" in recognition of the hard work and commitment of staff to meeting
the Department's priorities. The purpose of the "appreciatED" events is to provide a forum
for Arne and the senior team to acknowledge the accomplishments of the ED team and hear
directly from staff.

Dear James:
Hello! Dan Davenport mentioned that I would be in touch with COSUAA conference
details. I've attached the preliminary conference materials that were sent out to our
membership last week. Included is a welcome letter from our COSUAA chair, Dan
Davenport, a preliminary agenda and some Charleston attractions. We have slotted
your sessions on May 1 from 1:15-2:15 and from 2:30-3:30. We are pleased you can join
us and invite you attend as much of the conference as you would like-especially the
evening reception on Saturday if you are available.
I've copied Leigh and can work with her on your room reservations at the hotel. If I can
provide additional information on the conference, please let me know. I look forward to
meeting you and to your presentation to our conference attendees. Take care,
Kay Lewis, Assistant Vice President for Student Life
and Director of Financial Aid and Scholarships

Overall, what does the Department hope to change/influence by enacting the
gainful employment regulations? specifically those focused on for-profit
institutions?
How have the public comments and opposition in general to some of the
regulations impacted the final rules {or rules close to being finalized)?

DRAFT
Proposal to create a Commission/Committee to Recommend an Appropriate
Regulatory Structure for Distance Education and to Urge its Adoption
Background
Distance education is one of the fastest growing delivery models for higher
education increasing at about 25 percent per year. Distance education is providing
important learning options to people as the United States strives to increase the
number of degrees granted. The academic community has a strong commitment to
quality education for non-traditional students and that fact is a primary driver for
the most distance education programs. Many higher education institutions have a
students in a large number of states, frequently with just a few students in some of
those states. The nature of distance education means institutions are not restricted
to geographic areas.
Government regulation must not unduly burden or restrict this important
sector. However, it is understood there may be some level of regulation needed to
33 5/24/2011 4:12PM
FOIA Page 1549
Thursday
Kvaal, James
and advance the welfare of students, e.g. , protect against misrepresentation, assure
distance education providers have the capability to deliver instruction,
etc. Moreover, the federal government has a proper interest in use of Title IV
funding, e.g., Pell grants and federal student loans, to the extent that such money is
used for distance education.
The U.S. Department ofEducation issued regulations July 1, 2011, that in part
deal with distance education. Those regulations require that institutions comply
with the state laws or regulations in which the distance education students live in
order for those institutions to receive Title IV money for those students. Some
states have not developed such laws or regulations or have not carefully
considered the implications of distance learning for existing laws. In response to
inquiries to states from institutions about the new regulation, most states now have
or are starting to focus on the matter. There is the real possibility that conflicting,
costly and unduly burdensome regulations will develop in some states that will not
serve the interest of the students. All states wish to have ample quality educational
options for their citizens. Many institutions are reporting substantial costs in
complying when they have students in a large number of states and this is certainly
going to be a factor as institutions consider expanding or continuing their
widespread distance education programs.
Recently, the U.S. Department ofEducation issued guidance to their July 1, 2011
regulation that states, in brief, that "good faith" effort would be sufficient for
compliance ofthe regulation through July 1, 2014. The guidance also urged that
there be an effort to further consider the issues of regulation of distance education
across state lines. The Department clearly recognizes that work needs to be done
to avoid unduly burdening the providers of distance education. At the same time
the Department has a real interest in assuring the proper use of Title IV monies.
This is the time and opportunity for the academic community, the states and the
U.S. Department of Education to step back and consider the design of a regulatory
process that will provide consumer protection, that is efficient and practical in
implementation, and that promotes the flourishing of innovative, effective quality
distance education.
Accordingly, we conclude that a Commission should be created to work on these
distance education issues.
Issues to be considered by the Commission
There are various options that have been used to regulate different industries.
Those options include:
1) primary regulatory jurisdiction in the state of incorporation or principle place of
business;
2) model state regulatory laws that are widely adopted over a few years;
3) reciprocal agreements between states recognizing that compliance in one state is
compliance in the other states; and
4) federal regulation that preempts state regulation.
34 5/24/2011 4:12PM
FOIA Page 1550
Thursday
As stated above, there are interrelated interests at play here: the interest of states to
protect citizens, the interest of the federal government in the proper use of Title IV
funding, the interests of the academic community in developing innovative,
effective educational programs and assuring the integrity of the profession, and the
shared interest of all in efficient, workable regulatory approaches. The federal
government interest prompted their recent relatively unique approach: not
preempting or determining state law but in effect enforcing state laws. In short,
the Commission will have to deal with the interplay between the role of the states
and the federal government.
This is a sophisticated set of issues. There is substantial experience in the country
on these issues in other sectors, though distance education has its own special
considerations.
Note that the work of the Commission would build on the excellent work of
SHEEO to put together information on all the state laws and regulations and
related information. This work has immediate and substantial va1ue.
Proposed Outcome of the Commission' s work
The Commission should recommend proposals for the state and federal level to
deal broadly and in a more or less permanently with this regulatory matter. This
will almost certainly involve at least recommending a model regulatory law.
The objective is to develop recommendations than can be broadly agreed upon
within the academic community, the states and the federa1 government. It will be
important to have all impacted parties at the table and for the Commjssion to reach
out sufficiently so all factors are considered and broad agreement is finally
reached. Broad agreement seems practical because at this point in time there are
not deeply conflicting concerns or major combating financial interests at stake
among the parties.
Composition ofthe Commission
The Commission should consist of not more than fifteen members selected from
nominees suggested by.

Hey Ben-this is the meeting Amy and I were discussion. You should definitely attend if

Thanks!
Hi, everyone:
Last spring, the College Board and MTV launched the "College Affordability Challenge",
which asked current and aspiring college students to submit innovative digital tools to
simplify the financial aid process. A winner was chosen and $100,000 has been set aside
to bring the tool to life and help promote its launch. The tool will match students with
scholarships and financial aid information based on demographic information already
provided through Facebook. It will also support students through the financial aid
process by leveraging a students' existing social network.
College Board and MTV have requested the opportunity to brief ED staff on the "College
Affordability Challenge", and to demo the winning tool. They are interested in hearing
your feedback, and discussing opportunities for synergy that leads to more and more
students enrolling in and successfully completing college. We hope to schedule this
discussion on May nth from 1030-1130am and will send a hold around shortly. Please
feel free to join us for this discussion, and/or invite interested members of your staff.
Best,
-Leigh

Please join us in the Secretary's Conference Room on Monday, May 23rd from
8:30-9:30AM for a briefing from H. R. Sharp Professor of Education at the University of
Delaware Roberta Golinkoff and Director of the Program at Williams College in Teaching
Susan Engel entitled Why School Reform Starts with Early Learning.
Brief Description
Our presenters will focus on the following questions:
What does research tell us about how young children learn most effectively in
areas such as literacy and math?
How does play-based education contribute to the development of creativity,
curiosity, and self-regulation?
Background Information
It is widely recognized that preschool can make a life-long difference in a child's life, but
it is less well understood that the type of preschool matters a great deal. Didactic
instruction of content not geared to the child's individual needs and development creates
stumbling blocks for children rather than helping them build pathways for future success.
Recent studies by Walter Gilliam at Yale, for instance, show that public preschool
children are being expelled at three times the rate for K-12 children. Four and a half
times more boys than girls are expelled from preschool. Other recent studies show that
suspension and expulsion of young children disproportionately affects children of color
and children with disabilities. There is strong evidence that young boys especially have a
harder time sitting still and absorbing knowledge through didactic methods of teaching.
Gilliam also found that programs with the most time devoted to dramatic play had the
lowest expulsion rates.
These findings support those of the HighScope Preschool Curriculum Comparison Study,
which assigned at-risk preschoolers to one of three programs. Two were play-based; one

Kvaal, James
was didactic and scripted. The children were followed to age 23. Although at first the
results were comparable, gradually those from the play-based programs excelled over
those from the direct-instruction model in many areas. Similar results were found in
Germany when children from play-based kindergartens were compared with those from
kindergartens focused on cognitive achievement. By age ten the former excelled over the
latter in a wide range of measures, including cognitive learning, social and emotional
adjustment, and "industry."
Children from low-income backgrounds, in particular, benefit from experiential play-
based approaches to early education from preschool through thi rd grade that are
designed and carried out by well-trained teachers who understand the principles of child
development.
