Oh, I don't know. The Education Department is about to issue new regulations to adjust the Department's civil monetary penalties (CMPs) for inflation, based on the Consumer Price Index. As part of the Higher Education Amendments of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-244), 20 U.S.C. 1015(c)(5) provides for a fine of up to $25,000 for failure by an institution of higher education (IHE) to provide information on the cost of higher education to the Commissioner of Education Statistics, and 20 U.S.C. 1027(f)(3) provides for a fine of up to $25,000 for failure by an IHE to provide information to the State and the public regarding its teacher preparation programs. The adjustment is the percentage by which the Consumer Price Index for the month of June of the calendar year preceding the adjustment exceeds the Consumer Price Index for the month of June of the calendar year in which the amount of such civil monetary penalty was last set or adjusted pursuant to law.
