Familiar Figure to Leave Post at American Council on Education.

The article reports that after nearly four decades at the American Council on Education, Sheldon E. Steinbach, vice president and general counsel, will step down at the end of September 2006 to join a Washington law firm. Steinbach is moving to the higher-education practice at Dow Lohnes PLLC, where he will focus on expanding the firm's existing business. The article reports that the council has begun searching for a replacement; the new position will focus less on providing internal legal advice and more on advising colleges about legislative and regulatory issues. The article provides a quote from Steinbach reflecting on the changes to higher education law in the areas of environmental issues, employee relations, affirmative action, and athletics administration.
