<p><strong>Ensuring Distance Education Act</strong></p><p>This bill treats revenue from distance education programs as nonfederal revenue for purposes of the 90/10 rule.</p><p>Generally, the 90/10 rule requires a for-profit institution of higher education (IHE) to derive at least 10% of its revenue from sources other than federal financial aid. Under current Department of Education regulations, for-profit IHEs are prohibited from including revenue from distance education programs (including hybrid distance education programs) as nonfederal revenue that meets this 10% requirement. The bill removes the prohibition and allows for distance education programs to be counted as nonfederal revenue for purposes of the rule.</p>
