    Dear Ms. Gaina: As the Executive Vice President of Monroe College, I

    Ms. Jean-Didier Gaina August 1, 2016 Offce of Postsecondary Education U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Room 6W232B Washington, DC 20202 RE: DOCKET NUMBER ED-2015-OPE-0103 Dear Ms. Gaina: As the Executive Vice President of Monroe College, I write regarding the proposed Defense to Repayment Rule (“Rule”) as published in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on June 13, 2016. At Monroe College, we have consistently championed an approach to higher education that focuses on: • Student outcomes across all institution types • Constructive policies that encourage and permit responsive actions from institutions that positively impact students • Transparency in data and process Our comments on the Rule focus on two areas: • A concern that the proposed Repayment Rate Warning does not adequately protect or inform students and refects a fawed approach that jeopardizes the entire Rule • Risks stemming from an overly broad Borrower Defense Framework will lead to unintended consequences that harm community colleges, HBCUs, and other institutions that provide access to underrepresented students For 83 years, Monroe College has consistently produced some of the best outcomes in the country for urban and low-income minority students. We have one of the highest graduation rates and one of the lowest default rates for the populations we serve. We are proud of the recognition we have earned as a model for increasing student access and the resources we allocate to student support services, including fnancial literacy, student loan counseling, remediation and career services. Given that Monroe is located in the poorest congressional zip code in the country, we are a laboratory for many of the great higher education policy debates, particularly those that relate to access for minorities and low-income students, graduation rates, student debt, college readiness, or employment outcomes.
