Thursday, 12 November, 2026

This week on "Off the Cuff," Hugh is joined by Jill and Sarah to discuss where things stand with several ongoing lawsuits impacting the One Big Beautiful Bill Act's (OBBBA) definition of a "professional student" and the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, along with accreditation updates from the Accreditation, Innovation, and Modernization (AIM) final rule. Sarah provides roadmaps and background on the OBBBA and PSLF timelines, while Jill digs into details of the AIM final rules, including their indirect impact on financial aid offices, along with some news about December's Federal Student Aid (FSA) Training Conference.
