To amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to provide that non-Federal revenue generated through certain distance education programs may be counted purposes of the non-Federal revenue requirements applicable to proprietary institutions of higher education (commonly known as the "90/10 rule").

Bill 119 hr 1174, also known as the "90/10 rule amendment," aims to make changes to the Higher Education Act of 1965 in order to allow non-Federal revenue generated through certain distance education programs to be counted towards the non-Federal revenue requirements for proprietary institutions of higher education.

The current "90/10 rule" requires that at least 10% of a proprietary institution's revenue comes from non-Federal sources. This bill seeks to include revenue generated from distance education programs in this calculation, which would provide more flexibility for these institutions to meet the requirements.

The purpose of this amendment is to address concerns that the current rule may disproportionately impact proprietary institutions that offer distance education programs. By allowing revenue from these programs to be counted towards the non-Federal revenue requirements, the bill aims to level the playing field for all types of institutions of higher education. Overall, the amendment to the Higher Education Act proposed in Bill 119 hr 1174 seeks to modernize the 90/10 rule and ensure that proprietary institutions offering distance education programs are not unfairly penalized.
