This session will explore the evolving dynamic and agency culture both within the U.S. Department of Education (ED) and between the agency and other players in Washington. Topics will include the plans for -- and pushback against -- agency reorganization, challenges to agency rulemaking in the courts, challenges to agency decision-making in Congress, and the continued shift from reliance on formal regulations to non-regulatory guidance. Building on this background, attendees will learn how this new dynamic impacts policymaking at the federal level and what it may mean for reauthorizations, funding, and implementation of laws. (Attendees may want to continue the discussion with Part 2, which will explore the impact these changes could have on stakeholders, and how to prepare for compliance in this new environment.)
