Federal data help students and colleges make informed decisions, but recent cuts at @IESResearch threaten our ability to answer basic questions about cost and outcomes. @dcheng20 shares why we joined a lawsuit challenging these harmful cuts: https://t.co/Pp9GnQ0Uwd @bestcolleges
The #PellGrant is facing a $2.7 bil shortfall in the next year if Congress doesn’t act. Without intervention, students across the country may lose access to the benefits of #HigherEd. That’s why we’re asking Congress to fully fund Pell:

Important context:
The case is being moved to a Missouri court, which will almost certainly institute its own injunction blocking debt relief. Don't expect debt forgiveness anytime soon, as the courts won't allow relief until they determine whether the plan is legal or not.
As the @Paris2024 Olympics are set to begin this month, I wanted to find a way to cover the games as a higher education reporter.
I hope you enjoy @bestcolleges coverage of @TeamUSA! 🇺🇸
@POTUS See here for a complete breakdown of every student loan dollar Biden has forgiven, as well as the student loan debt he failed to erase: https://t.co/SjsbV75Say
Curious how a celebrity apparel brand gets approval to make merch with a university logo?
I spoke with Andrew Cottone, director of @UCLA Trademarks & Licensing, to learn how the @trvisXX + @Fanatics collab "Jack Goes Back to College" got UCLA branding.

.@gradworkersofBU have been on strike since March 25, demanding a fair contract that includes better pay and more comprehensive healthcare and benefits.
How did it happen? Let's see. ⬇️
I'm interested to see where this lawsuit targeting Biden's SAVE plan goes. A court decision could impact other higher ed regs he has enacted during his time in office, like:
-Gainful Employment
-Public Service Loan Forgiveness
-Transcript Withholding

Starting next year, @calstate + @UofCalifornia campuses will be required to provide students with free transportation to facilities that offer sexual assault forensic exams (SAFE), also known as rape kits.
The effort was led by college students.

@James_S_Murphy@GovPritzker Not ideal, but worth noting that submitting a FAFSA through the mail could help families meet aid deadlines: https://t.co/U0AXQTEUTI
The new FAFSA has been open almost a month, and mixed status families still cannot access the form. This means nearly 1m students are unable to apply for fed aid and may miss crucial deadlines. I spoke with @MatthewHigherEd about what’s at stake. https://t.co/25RdiBcEEX
The main takeaway from the final student loan debt forgiveness proposal: Higher ed stakeholders did NOT feel like the Biden administration's plan does enough to meet the needs of struggling borrowers.

ICYMI: Yesterday kicked off the second-to-last day of negotiated rulemaking to develop a new student loan debt forgiveness plan, and negotiations were strained to say the least.

DACA currently offers two main benefits: protection from deportation and the ability to legally work in the U.S.
Many “Dreamers” work while attending college. But If work authorization disappears, college becomes less financially feasible.
