A federal judge has allowed a 90-day delay for the Department of Education to prepare a response regarding lawsuits against Biden's gainful employment regulations. These regulations, which require career education programs to demonstrate the financial success of their graduates, face opposition from cosmetology schools that argue the rules threaten their survival. Critics claim the benchmarks for measuring student outcomes are flawed. The deadline for the department's arguments has been extended from February 14 to May 16, giving new officials more time to assess the situation.
The lawsuit filed by cosmetology schools argues that the Biden administration's gainful employment regulations jeopardize the existence of certain trade programs due to flawed measures.
The gainful-employment regulations mandate institutions to report metrics demonstrating their graduates’ financial outcomes compared to high school graduates in the state.
Trump administration lawyers stress that incoming officials need a 90-day stay to evaluate the implications of the regulations as the new education secretary is yet to be confirmed.
If the stay wasn’t granted, the Department of Education had to submit its final brief by Feb. 14; now it’s extended to May 16.
