Recouping Federal Funds from Educational Institutions for Misconduct

This act aims to amend regulations concerning federal funding for educational institutions. It introduces the possibility of recovering funds from institutions that fail to comply with rules and of withholding further payments in case of violations. This is intended to increase the accountability of institutions receiving government support.
Key points
If an educational institution violates rules, the government can recover all federal financial assistance received in that year, regardless of whether the funds have already been spent.
In case of a court injunction to cease violations, the institution will not receive further federal funds for at least one year or until compliance with the injunction is certified.
These changes aim to ensure that public money is used in accordance with regulations and that institutions are held accountable for compliance.
