This letter, signed by NCLC and other national organizations with expertise in college access, affordability, and the federal student aid program, expresses opposition to any reconciliation legislation that diverts essential educational resources to other policy areas.
As explained in the letter, this short-sighted approach would diminish access to quality postsecondary education, increase the cost for students and families, and risk driving up the number of student loan borrowers who fall into default, leading to disastrous financial consequences. The coalition also opposes potential legislative provisions that would limit student access or otherwise make college less affordable to students by cutting access to critical financial aid and eliminating aspects of the federal student loan program.
The coalition urges Congress to reject diverting needed resources away from students pursuing the education and training they need to participate fully in civic life and our economy.
