Abstract:
During reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, Congress has the opportunity to make higher education more accessible for underserved students, including many working adults and older youth. This two-page fact sheet, jointly prepared by the National Consumer Law Center, CLASP, and the Workforce Alliance, urges Congress to seize this opportunitybut with caution. Innovations and reforms must be balanced against the danger of repeating past abuses. Students and taxpayers must be protected from unscrupulous schools that are in business not to educate but to chase federal dollars. (Publication No. 04-24).
