SF 2703 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Enrollment fraud working group creation

This bill creates a working group within Minnesota's public higher education system to address enrollment fraud. It directly affects Minnesota State Colleges and Universities by requiring the Board of Trustees to establish this group, which must develop policies to prevent fraudulent online course enrollments aimed at accessing financial aid, campus systems, and student services. The working group must include specific student and faculty representatives from organizations like the Minnesota State University Student Association and college faculty groups. The group must submit a report to legislative committees by January 15, 2026, detailing its recommendations. The bill focuses on creating a collaborative process to identify and prevent fraud, without specifying new penalties or immediate policy changes.
