What the New Gainful Employment Rule Means for
College Students
  • The gainful employment regulation requires
    vocational programs at for-profit higher
    education institutions and no degree programs at
    community colleges to meet minimum thresholds
    with respect to the debt-to-income rates of their
    graduates.
  • Programs that fail to meet these minimum
    requirements could lose access to all federal
    financial aid for a period, putting them at a
    higher risk of closing.

  • Gainful Employment's Rocky Road
  • In 2009, the Department of Education began a
    negotiated rule-making session with the goal of
    strengthening federal aid program regulations to
    better serve students and families. Gainful
    employment was rooted in the concept that a
    school should experience consequences for the
    lack of success of its alumni.
  • The idea was to try and ensure that programs
    where students needed to take on debt to attend
    provided a robust enough education that these
    students could obtain employment with wages high
    enough to allow them to successfully repay that
    debt.

  • How Gainful Employment Works?
  • The rule measures a program's graduates'
    debt-to-income as follows
  • Programs whose graduates have annual loan
    payments less than 8 percent of total earnings or
    less than 20 percent of discretionary earnings
    are considered to have passed the requirements.
  • Programs whose graduates have annual loan
    payments between 8 percent and 12 percent of
    total earnings or between 20 percent and 30
    percent of discretionary earnings are considered
    to be "in the warning zone" and at risk of
    failing the requirements.

  • Programs whose graduates have annual loan
    payments greater than 12 percent of total
    earnings and greater than 30 percent of
    discretionary earnings have failed the
    requirements.
  • Programs that fail in two out of any three
    consecutive years or are in the zone for four
    consecutive years are no longer eligible for
    federal student aid for a minimum of three years.

  • What This Means for Consumers
  • Students who attended a school that had to shut
    down because of gainful employment would be
    eligible for a discharge of their federal
    Education loan in India debt However, that's not
    really an ideal situation, both for the student
    and the taxpayer who ultimately pays when federal
    debt is forgiven. A much better turn of events is
    for students to go into these types of programs
    with eyes wide open.
