State and federal laws regulating colleges and universities are rapidly and substantially changing.  For example, the tsunami of regulatory changes known as the Program Integrity Regulations that go into effect July 1, 2011 require massive structural and procedural changes by Title IV-participating institutions.  Many institutions are still absorbing the costs and consequences of the new regulations and have yet to completely align current policies and procedures with the new law.  Meanwhile, federal student financial aid for incoming classes of students depends on the timely completion of institutional changes to policies and procedures.

The Gallegos Legal Group delivers the knowledge schools need to comply with new laws and the know-how needed to institute a system for tracking the progress of changes required to comply.  The Department of Education's regulations are typically not models of clarity, but precision of interpretation is something that every school needs to achieve compliance.
