Our administration states that "federal regulations" require
submission of our textbook orders for the Spring 2013 by November 1st.

1. Have any of you been so informed along with a request to submit
textbook orders for an upcoming semester?

2. Do any of you know of such a legal or regulatory requirement? I
have looked at 20 USCA 1015b and a "Dear Colleague" letter on the U.S.
Department of Education website dated December 2008 from a Deputy
Assistant Secretary that "summarizes" the Higher Education Opportunity
Act. I have found nothing so far in the Code of Federal Regulations.

By the way, 20 USCA 1015b (i) states: "No regulatory authority. The
Secretary shall not promulgate regulations with respect to this
section."

Please let me know if I've missed anything.

Thank you.
