U.S. Department of Education Higher Education Fraud Summit

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Inspector General (OIG) is hosting a Higher Education Fraud Summit to bring together institutional leaders, Department officials, inspectors general, federal and state law enforcement, and industry partners. The summit aims to discuss strategies for combating fraud in higher education. This full-day event will feature keynote remarks from Under Secretary of Education Nicholas Kent and six constituency-based panels covering aid program vulnerabilities, identity and synthetic enrollment fraud, institutional controls, referral and enforcement pathways, and emerging detection technologies. It serves as a meaningful opportunity to align across the oversight community, the Department, the institutions it serves, and industry partners to strengthen program integrity.
