U.S. House, Senate start conference committee on Higher Education Act renewal
The U.S. House and Senate have approved similar, but somewhat different versions of legislation to renew federal higher education law, which includes federal student loans, teacher education and area studies programs. A small group of representatives and senators will now start working to develop a compromise version of the two bills. KU is closely following this legislation since it will set federal higher education law for the next five years.
The document linked below outlines the key issues the higher education community has identified as needing refinement. KU is in contact with our congressional delegation on these issues.
