AERA Comments on Proposed Rule

This document contains comments from the American Educational Research Association (AERA) regarding a proposed rule from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) on improving performance, accountability, and responsiveness in the civil service. AERA expresses concerns about the potential impact of classifying federal employees in research and statistical agencies as 'Schedule Policy/Career,' arguing it could diminish civil service protections and affect the non-partisan nature of their work.
