to, from, or between any Department official and any
of the people or entities identified in the FOIA
Request regarding for-profit education. It is a
personal note concerning the sender’s family.

WIP: FOIA Exemption 5: the bottom portion of the

e-mail on Page 001766 is an inter-agency
communication from an attorney, Georgia Yuan,
Office of General Counsel (OGC), providing a
recommendation concerning the Department’s
approach to the proposed Gainful Employment rule.
The Department has withheld this information to
encourage open, frank discussions on matters of
policy between subordinates and superiors, to protect
against premature disclosure of proposed policies
before they are actually adopted, and protect against
public confusion that might result from the disclosure
of reasons and rationales that were not in fact
ultimately the grounds for the agency’s policy,
especially in light of the fact that the regulatory
process is still ongoing.

The document was re-released as Page 001766 to

further segregate releasable information. It was
reviewed for segregability and all non-exempt
portions were released.
