‘General Provisions’ Finishes In Consensus

by Justin on April 23, 2007

Abstract

Just before 11:30 AM last Friday federal and nonfederal negotiators joined in a round of applause as the facilitator announced, “We have consensus!” Negotiators began the final round of negotiations on Title IV general provisions last Wednesday and finished by late Friday morning. Stakes were high as negotiators examined 19 issues, only five of which had tentative agreement prior to last week’s meeting. Failure to reach consensus on just one would have left the entire the entire package of issues subject to the Department’s discretion.
