**Issue Paper #2**

**Issue:**			Gainful Employment Metrics

**Statutory cites:**20 U.S.C. § 1221e-3; 20 U.S.C. § 3474; 20 U.S.C. § 1231a; 20 U.S.C. §§ 1001(b)(1), 1002(b)(1)(A)(i), (c)(1)(A); 20 U.S.C. § 1088(b)

**Regulatory cites:**	34 CFR §§668.403 and 668.404

**Summary of Issue:**

The October 31, 2014 final regulations, among other things, established a D/E metric to determine the title IV eligibility of GE programs and established sanctions for programs that do not pass the metric. 

The D/E rates have two components:  debt and earnings. The debt variable is the annual loan payment, which is calculated by amortizing the median loan debt for a two- or four-year cohort of program completers.  Median loan debt is based on data from title IV loans reported by institutions to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) and data on private loans or other debt reported by institutions under the GE regulations. The earnings variable is the higher of mean and median annual earnings calculated by the Social Security Administration for the students who completed the GE program during the applicable cohort period. 

For each award year and for each GE program, the Department calculates a discretionary income rate and an annual earnings rate (D/E rates). A program’s D/E rates are considered to be passing if the discretionary income rate is less than or equal to 20 percent, or its annual earnings rate is less than or equal to eight percent.  A GE program’s D/E rates are failing if its discretionary income rate is greater than 30 percent, its annual earnings rate is greater than 12 percent, or, in either case, the denominator of the rate (discretionary earnings or annual earnings) is negative, for either rate, or zero, for the annual earnings rate.  A GE program is considered to be “in the zone” if it is not a passing program and if its discretionary income rate is greater than 20 percent but less than or equal to 30 percent, or its annual earnings rate is greater than eight percent but less than or equal to 12 percent.

**Questions for consideration by the committee:**

· Are D/E rates an appropriate metric for determining whether a program provides training that prepares students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation?  

· Are the passing D/E rates thresholds in the current regulations appropriate for determining whether a program provides training that prepares students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation?

· Are D/E rates an appropriate metric for evaluating the performance of non-GE programs?  Are other metrics more appropriate for evaluating all programs?

· How long after a cohort’s completion from a program, should earnings data be reviewed to provide relevant information for students enrolling in a program? 

· Are there more appropriate data sources that should be used to determine the earnings variable in the D/E rates?

#### Rachel Katz, Respondent, v. Paul T. O’Keefe, as Commissioner of the Department of Real Estate of the City of New York, Appellant.

Order, entered on May 8, 1962, unanimously reversed, on the law, with $20 costs and disbursements to appellant, and summary judgment granted to defendant-appellant. In this suit to enjoin the Commissioner of the Department of Real Estate from offering for lease certain lands acquired by the city in condemnation, plaintiff, suing as a taxpayer, moved for a temporary injunction. Defendant cross-moved for a judgment under rules 106, 112 and 113 of the Rules of Civil Practice. The court denied the application for an injunction. On the cross motion the court determined that the complaint stated a cause of action and that there were triable issues. The gravamen of the action is that the retention of the properties is so clearly contrary to the interests of the city that the act of the responsible official amounts to waste. The affidavit fails to show this. Short of a prima facie showing to this effect, there is no triable issue *(Kaskél*v. *Impellitteri,*306 N. Y. 73). Concur — Breitel, J. P., McNally, Stevens, Eager and Steuer, JJ.

Generally, the contracting officer shall insert the standard due dates of 7 days for progress payments, and 14 days for performance-based payments and interim payments on cost-type contracts, in the appropriate paragraphs of the respective payment clauses. For interim payments on cost-reimbursement contracts for services, see 232.906(a)(i).
( b ) The contracting officer should coordinate contract financing payment terms with offices that will be involved in the payment process to ensure that specified terms can be met. Where justified, the contracting officer may insert a due date greater than, but not less than, the standard. In determining payment terms, consider— ( i ) Geographical separation;
( ii ) Workload;
( iii ) Contractor ability to submit a proper request; and
( iv ) Other factors that could affect timing of payment.

As water levels in the alluvial aquifer decline with 

increased pumping, river-derived recharge has become a substantial component of water supplied to the alluvial aquifer in several areas. Wells located near rivers show minimal water-level declines because they intercept recharged water before it can flow to areas away from the rivers. Consequently in areas away from the rivers, less river-recharge water is available, causing water levels in wells to decline more rapidly. An example of this condition occurs in the Grand Prairie area located between the Arkansas and White Rivers (figs. 6 and 9). Because the central area between these two rivers receives little recharge from the rivers, continued pumping has resulted in the formation of an extensive cone of depression to the northwest along an axis lying approximately midway between the rivers. Recharge from rainfall probably is much smaller than from the rivers. Recharge to the aquifer of water infiltrating through rice fields and shallow ponds also may occur, but in lesser amounts than from the rivers. However, rates of recharge from these sources are not well quantified.

A Sustainable Water Resource?

The Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer supplies large volumes of water for agriculture. Water production from the aquifer is limited, however, by the finite 

volume of water stored within it, and by the relatively small volume of recharge water being added through time. Recharge rates are exceeded by ground-water pumping rates in many areas, causing ground-water levels to decline

In a few areas
