Proposed Recission of the International Education Programs Regulations

Melissa Torres, President and CEO of The Forum on Education Abroad, opposes the proposed rescission of the International Education Programs Regulations. She argues that the regulations provide essential operational clarity and quality standards for programs like Fulbright-Hays, which are critical for student career readiness and U.S. economic competitiveness.

The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) opposes the wholesale rescission of the International Education Programs regulations without a clear replacement framework in place. They argue that a predictable regulatory framework is essential for institutions to maintain the deep language and area expertise necessary to serve national interests and congressional intent.
