The PARITY Act seeks to remove the 90/10 rule that limits the amount of non‑federal revenue for‑profit colleges can receive while still getting federal student aid. By repealing the rule, the bill would let these schools rely more heavily on federal funds, affecting for‑profit higher‑education institutions and the students they serve.

Key Provisions

  • Amends Section 487 of the Higher Education Act to eliminate paragraph (24) and subsection (d), which together make up the 90/10 rule for for‑profit (proprietary) schools that receive federal student aid.
