I'm less concerned with Biden's bravery, since it's subjective eye-of-the-beholder stuff no matter who is President. I am interested in finding our more about DeVos's own understanding of higher academics and the collegiate ecosystem. Maybe she actually possesses that kind of comprehensive knowledge. Maybe her ruling was researched and written by professors like Nussbaum and other legal scholars, who had DeVos's ear based on a mutual goal of curtailing government regulation of the education system. I'm willing to give Betsy credit if she performed her own due diligence in good faith and had more of a stake in the matter other than her lifelong goal of privatizing education.
It is hard to know how informed DeVos became herself, as opposed to the Departmental officials. But the Final Rule was VERY much better than the draft rule, after a long and highly engaged notice and comment period - which gives one a little more faith that these can make a difference. But what matters most is the substance of the Rule rather than the interior of Betsy DeVos's mind.
Fair enough, and I appreciate your reply. Giving discretion to the colleges themselves, as you indicated in your response to Chiu, may have been enough for Betsy DeVos. It may have been the only skin she had in this particular game.
I also hope the Final Rule makes a difference that's substantive, the kind that the frat bros can't appropriate to leverage their own agenda.

Either version is regulation. No one has or is about to curtail regulation.
