[ad_1]

More than 50 organizations signed a letter to Congress today urging against higher education cuts that would harm students and borrowers in the budget reconciliation process. As part of a broad coalition, advocates expressed collective opposition to any measures that would: 

  • Reduce access to high-quality postsecondary programs of study; 
  • Weaken protections for students against high-cost, low-quality programs that engage in waste, fraud, and abuse; or  
  • Stall economic opportunity and raise costs by making student loans more expensive by removing existing income-driven repayment plans.
