EVENT: Rebuilding Higher Education Finance: Reform Through Reconciliation

Higher education finance is facing a critical juncture. The Biden administration’s push for student debt cancellation has significantly disrupted the financial landscape, creating uncertainty and exposing the system’s flaws. As lawmakers debate the future of higher education finance, one key question is how the budget reconciliation process—a fast-track legislative tool that allows certain fiscal policies to pass with a simple Senate majority—can drive lasting change. In this web event, AEI’s Beth Akers will moderate a discussion with Alex Ricci of the Education Finance Council, Lindsey M. Burke of the Heritage Foundation, and AEI’s Preston Cooper. Together, they will explore the potential for meaningful and lasting reform through budget reconciliation legislation, focusing on both the opportunities and hurdles ahead.
