2. Financial Value Transparency and Gainful Employment Resources

The Association for Institutional Research (AIR) is offering resources related to the recent regulatory updates on Financial Value Transparency (FVT) and Gainful Employment (GE).   While FVT/GE regulations do not involve IPEDS or NCES, NCES is sharing this information in order to help inform institutional research and other higher education professionals of these regulatory requirements.  AIR hosted an informational webinar on February 14, and will be hosting another on March 1.  Please note that the March 1 webinar has reached capacity for the live webinar.  However recordings and the slides of both webinars will be available on the AIR resource page. The FVT/GE resources are free and open to the public, at: https://www.airweb.org/collaborate-learn/webinars/fvt.  The webinar and resources are co-sponsored by AIR, the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), the American Council on Education (ACE), and the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU).
