Zeppos outlines concerns about reauthorization of Higher Education Act


This week, the House of Representatives plans to consider a massive rewrite of the Higher Education Act. Over the last four years, Vanderbilt has joined with its peer institutions and national higher education associations to help shape this legislation, the Vanderbilt Office of Federal Relations reported.

Interim Chancellor Nicholas Zeppos wrote last week to each member of Tennessee's House delegation, summarizing Vanderbilt's views on key aspects of the legislation. While supporting aspects of the bill that increases student aid, Zeppos identified a number of provisions with which Vanderbilt has serious concerns including accreditation, reporting and compliance, cost provisions, filesharing and teacher preparation.

Legislators have indicated they hope to have a final bill to the President prior to March 31.
