-
Joint hearings of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives on reauthorization on the Higher Education Act are presented. The hearings, which were held in Vermont, focus on recommendations of the Vermont Higher Education Council. Also considered is the Reagan Administration's fiscal 1986 budget proposals, which would cut $2.3 billion from the higher education budget, and would reduce federal financial aid for college students. The Vermont proposal is against block grants, loan caps that do not recognize a family with more than one child in college at once, and total financial aid caps that put most private colleges and several public colleges out of reach of low income students. It is suggested that Congress should consider how the current act can be adapted to meet at least four major trends of the 1980s and 1990s: demography (i.e., fewer 18-24 year olds); technology (i.e., the need for new skills and a humanistic environment); international trends (i.e, developing cultural awareness and language skills); and financial problems. The testimony covers the various titles of the act, including: student financial aid, college libraries, international education, teacher corps and teacher training programs, academic facilities, and cooperative education.
