The MACRAO Executive Board and I are happy to invite you to our first Brownbag Townhall meeting of the year. It will take place on Tuesday, January 30th at noon and the topic will be Federal Regulations and Transcript Withholding. As Nathan mentioned in his November Legislative Update, there is a lot of talk at the national level on this now and we had a request that it would be helpful to talk to Missouri peers to see what others are doing and how they plan to proceed.

Please register in advance for this meeting: https://umsystem.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYqc-qpqDkoH92ODRnsj5UYjfsDUncNvDk9

**If you have any specific questions that you would like to ask with this topic, please include it in the Topic Ideas line of the registration form. AACRAO also held a webinar on the topic in November so you might be interested in viewing the recording. the US Education Department released a fact sheet titled Protecting Students Through Final Regulations That Strengthen Department of Education Oversight and Monitoring of Colleges and Universities.
