Any presidential transition brings a shift in executive branch priorities. This January will be no different. With the presidential election behind us and Donald Trump assuming office this January, NASFAA’s members are understandably wondering what will happen to the many regulatory initiatives pursued by the Biden administration over the past four years. While there is no official word on Trump’s plans for these regulations, we can share the potential paths he can follow and, in some cases, assume Trump’s course of action based on his last term and statements he has made while campaigning.
We saw this occur during Trump’s first term with the gainful employment rules that were finalized during the Obama administration, so it would be fair to assume a similar fate for the latest round of GE/FVT rules.
