"A government shutdown is looking inevitable and could disrupt some parts of the education world," POLITICO reports.

... "During the 2013 government shutdown, the Education Department had to reschedule a rulemaking session on gainful employment. The department is already on a tight timeline to negotiate drafts, issue a proposed rule, solicit comments and publish a final rule ahead of the July 2026 deadline spelled out in the big, beautiful law."

"'It’s pretty time-sensitive stuff because the statute says that it’s got to be implemented by July 1,' said Jill Desjean, National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators’ director of policy analysis. 'They really need to get this negotiation started and ended.'"
