On Feb. 7, the House of Representatives passed the College Opportunity and Affordability Act, reauthorizing the Higher Education Act of 1965. The Act includes reforms to the private lending system, an increase to the maximum Pell Grant award, measures to make college costs more transparent and require textbooks publishers to provide further disclosure of textbook prices. The bill is now moving to conference, where it will be reconciled with a Senate version of the bill, previously passed. Read more from UC Berkeley Read more from Boston College |
