Executive Vice President of Monroe College is Chosen as Primary Negotiator by Department of Education for Gainful Employment










New Rochelle, NY (PRWEB) September 27, 2013

Last month, Marc Jerome, Executive Vice President of Monroe College, was chosen as a primary negotiator to represent private, proprietary colleges as the Department of Education reviews the proposed gainful employment rule. Fifteen primary and fourteen alternate negotiators were selected to represent the various segments of higher education.

In 2010, the DOE proposed the gainful employment rule and a series of metrics used to determine whether education programs within the proprietary sector lead to gainful employment in a recognized occupation. The proposed rule based a program’s eligibility for federal student financial aid under Title IV of the Higher Education Act on whether or not the program met rigorous student loan debt metrics.

On June 22, 2013, the Department of Education announced that it would establish a negotiated rulemaking committee with the intent that it would review current gainful employment standards, as well as help to improve on regulations and create new standards for programs that prepare students for gainful employment.

The topic of gainful employment has been highly discussed throughout higher education and this committee is meant to achieve several goals relating to the matter. According to a document published by the U.S. Department of Education, these goals include defining what it means for a program to prepare a student for gainful employment, providing institutions with the tools and metrics needed to assess whether their programs prepare their students for gainful employment, protecting students and taxpayers by identifying gainful employment programs with poor outcomes, and supporting students in deciding where to pursue a college education by increasing transparency.

Over the last three years, Mr. Jerome has become a subject matter expert on gainful employment and has focused a lot of his energy working on Title IV issues. He has delved into the matter in order to gain an in-depth understanding and has worked with the U.S. Department of Education as well as both Democrats and Republicans on numerous issues, including gainful employment.

In 2012, Monroe College won a USA Funds® Award for Excellence in Debt Management. The College was recognized for developing its Debt Reduction, Education, Assessment & Management (DREAM) project, which gives its graduates the skills to manage both their personal and educational finances. The DREAM project educates students through peer financial advising, early intervention loan counseling and education, and enhanced staffing of its Office of Loan Management, among other efforts to improve student financial literacy.

The next negotiated rulemaking session is scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C. on October 21st through October 23rd.

BioInformatics LLC New Market Report – The Market for Primary Cells & Stem Cell-Derived Cells: Current and Future Opportunities (13-004)











Do a deep dive into the primary cells market!


Arlington, VA (PRWEB) May 16, 2013

BioInformatics LLC New Market Report – The Market for Primary Cells & Stem Cell-Derived Cells: Current and Future Opportunities (13-004)

With barriers to entry low, the number of suppliers in the primary cells market continues to increase. In this study, BioInformatics LLC examines what cell types are used most often, how satisfied scientists are with commercially available primary cells, what is the market size and anticipated growth rate.

 

Additionally, terminally differentiated cells can be used in many applications where primary cells are currently employed. This report profiles this emerging market and the role of commercial suppliers in this area, and explores how the use of primary cells be will be affected by the availability of stem cell-derived differentiated cell types.

 

Of interest to suppliers is what motivates scientists to purchase primary cells. A key finding in this report indicates that the number one reason that a lab chooses a particular supplier is that the required cell type is available (75%). But not too far behind (54%) is that the product quality is consistent for that particular brand. Additionally, the study finds that the average number of liters per month used to culture primary cells in North American and European labs is 9.95.

 

The following companies are listed as answer choices in the survey:

 

AllCells

Asterand

Astarte

ATCC

BD Gentest (now Corning Life Sciences)

Bioreclamation

Cell Applications

CET (Cell Engineering Technology)

CellnTec Advanced Cell Systems

Celprogen

Celsis IVT

Global Stem

Gibco (Life Technologies

InSphero

Lifeline Cell Technology

Lonza

EMD Millipore

PromoCell

QBM Cell Science

RegeneMed

ScienCell

Stemcell Technologies

Thermo Scientific

TRL Triangle Research Labs

Xenotech

Zen-Bio

 

“This study of the academic and pharma/biotech sectors in North America and Europe will provide suppliers with an analysis of the market for primary cells and an assessment of the brand equity for the leading companies who serve this market,” says Robin Rothrock, Ph.D., Director of Publications at BioInformatics LLC. “Plus, we have explored the market for stem cell-derived differentiated cells, a potential threat—or opportunity—to suppliers in this market.”
