Round-up: Trying Anew to Jump-Start Overhaul of Higher Ed Law

February 05, 2019

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), outgoing chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, laid out on Monday a potential blueprint and quick timeline for a long-awaited rewrite of the federal law governing higher education — marking an aggressive approach for what will likely be his last attempt to reauthorize the law.
 
Sen. Alexander said Monday he wants the committee to pass a bill this spring and hopes to get it through the Senate this summer. That would give senators time to negotiate with the House and get a bill signed by President Trump "so that we can produce a present for 20 million college students and their families by Christmas," he said.
