Higher Education Fraud Summit Expanded to Include Virtual Participation Agenda and Registration Details Below
Overview
We hope that everyone had a great weekend celebrating our nation’s 250^th anniversary!
As we begin the week, we wanted to share with you breaking news regarding the U.S. Department of Education’s (Department) Office of the Inspector General decision to expand participation in the previously announced Higher Education Fraud Summit (Fraud Summit) to virtual participants. We also wanted to make certain to call to your attention that the OBBBA: STATS and Earnings Accountability—Reporting, Metric Calculation, and Appeals webinar which the Department had previously scheduled for Wednesday, July 8^th has been postponed.
The Fraud Summit, originally announced (us.list-manage.com/rc9L28y8Cnj?e=05bce952ad&c2id=828e2f13ae2569477ba2b7da4ef30812) on June 25^th, is a full-day event designed to “bring together institutional leaders, Department officials, inspectors general, federal and state law enforcement, and industry partners to discuss strategies for combating fraud in higher education.”
The summit will bring together Federal Student Aid, Department program staff, Inspectors General, institutions of higher education, and industry partners for a full-day dialogue on combating fraud across higher education. The program features keynote remarks from Acting Attorney General Colin McDonald, Under Secretary of Education Nicholas Kent and six constituency-based panels covering aid-program vulnerabilities, identity and synthetic-enrollment fraud, institutional controls, referral and enforcement pathways, and emerging detection technologies.
