  1. Higher Education Act Mid-Course Report: Who Is On First, Anyway? Travis Reindl SHEEO-NCES Network April 1, 2004

  2. The “Little or No” Reauthorization • LITTLE • Sense of bipartisanship, cross-Hill cooperation • Sense of the Administration’s interest in or commitment to the process • Information or clear sense of direction, timing • NO • Money • Central thrust/overriding issue • Champions (legislative)

  3. The Issues • Affordability • Tuition regulation • Borrowing • Accessibility • Transfer of credit • Distance education • Accountability • Teacher preparation • Student outcomes (persistence, completion)

  4. Looking Ahead • Learning outcomes—Higher education can run from these but NCLB may prove that we can’t hide. • Role of for-profit providers—They are here to stay, and willing/able to flex their political muscle. • Adults/working students—The growing mismatch between their needs and public policy (esp. student aid) will be much more apparent by the next reauthorization.
