TICAS joined 10 organizations and advocates a letter to Congress opposing any reconciliation legislation that diverts essential educational resources to other policy areas. This short-sighted approach would diminish access to quality postsecondary education, increase the cost for students and families, and risk driving up the number of student loan borrowers who fall into default, leading to disastrous financial consequences. We also oppose potential legislative provisions that would limit student access or otherwise make college less affordable to students by cutting access to critical financial aid and eliminating aspects of the federal student loan program.
