    HEA Reauthorization

    The Higher Education Act (HEA) covers federal student aid and various programs aimed at supporting student access and affordability. Though it should be renewed every 5 years, the HEA expired in 2013.

    During the 115th Congress, both parties released proposals to reauthorize the HEA. Representative Virginia Foxx (R-NC) introduced the Promoting Real Opportunity, Success, and Prosperity through Education Reform (PROSPER) Act. The bill passed the committee on a 23-17 party line vote, but was not brought to the House floor for consideration. Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA) introduced the Democrats' proposal to reauthorize the HEA, the Aim Higher Act, which did not advance out of committee.

    CASE Position

    As Congress continues its work towards reauthorizing the HEA, CASE will monitor potential HEA proposals affecting educational advancement and will work to shape and actively support the higher education association community's response to HEA reauthorization legislation.
