National University President Dr. Mark D. Milliron joins fellow higher education leaders in a Presidents Forum panel discussion titled The Future of Higher Ed Regulation, exploring how new U.S. Department of Education rules affect institutions and modern learners. The conversation, which includes Western Governors University President Scott Pulsipher and education technology expert Phil Hill, focuses on negotiated rulemaking, distance learning oversight, and the need for collaboration between regulators and higher education institutions.
Dr. Milliron emphasizes that new regulations must reflect the realities of today’s diverse student population, including working adults, parents, and lifelong learners who increasingly pursue flexible and online education. Panelists agree that earlier engagement with colleges and universities could prevent policy “whiplash” and unintended consequences, underscoring the importance of designing oversight systems that align with innovation and access in higher education.
