What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Ensuring Distance Education Act," seeks to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965. It focuses on how revenue is counted for proprietary institutions of higher education. Specifically, it aims to change how the "90/10 rule" is applied regarding non-Federal revenue. The amendment would allow funds paid for programs offered through distance education to be counted toward these requirements. This applies regardless of where the distance education program is carried out.
