Meeting opened and staff explained the consensus process: the committee will review a package of 16 regulatory provisions provision-by-provision with pulse checks, but the final consensus check will be on the whole package. Department staff said printed amendatory text will be provided and that consensus (not a vote) will be recorded as thumbs up/side/down for the entire package.

U.S. Department of Education staff led negotiations on a 16‑provision regulatory package, clarifying the consensus process and presenting an interim definition of “professional student” that would grandfather some graduate programs for one year; staff also walked through changes to repayment-plan definitions and PSLF qualifying-payment timelines and took multiple pulse checks on draft provisions.
