Postsecondary institutions required to report enrollment fraud to the Office of Higher Education, and report required.
This bill requires Minnesota postsecondary institutions to report enrollment fraud cases to the Office of Higher Education within 30 days of detection. The law applies to state colleges and universities, private institutions participating in federal financial aid programs, and requests compliance from the University of Minnesota system. Reports must include the amount of state financial aid the fraudulent student qualified for and any aid already disbursed. The Office of Higher Education will then publish an annual report starting in 2027 detailing the number of fraud cases and financial aid amounts involved, broken down by institution and program type.
