Hosts Jon Fansmith and Sarah Spreitzer are joined by their ACE colleague Steven Bloom to discuss how the never-ending threats of a government shutdown are impacting funding legislation for higher education. They look at the Education Department’s proposed timeline for the new FAFSA and what’s left for Congress to deal with after the Thanksgiving holiday, and Steven shares insight into the Department of Labor’s proposed policy to switch up overtime pay requirements.
