7/ The broader consequences are significant: fewer trained professionals, more barriers for students from low-income backgrounds, and added strain on already stretched health and social systems. A formal proposal will be released in the next few weeks, which launches a 30-day public comment period.

6/ The Department of Education has removed MPH & DrPH programs from their draft definition of what counts as a“professional degree.” If this sticks, it could limit federal aid, scholarships, and loan repayment for students, making it harder to enter public health careers.
