HR 4283 “College Access and Opportunity Act of 2004”, Worked collaboratively the university community positions on the Reauthorization of Higher Education Act. Visited offices of all ten members of the Maryland Delegation. Worked toward increased access to higher education for low-income students by strengthening support for grants and early intervention programs, particularly the Pell Grant program; increase in financial aid support for graduate education through GAANN, Javits and FLAS fellowship and grant programs; increased access to both undergraduate and graduate education by raising student loan borrowing limits. Communicated by letter to leadership in both House and Senate Committees regarding the omission of “experimental site” designations within the reauthorization bill. This program provides for more flexible means of calculating individual student aid packages; reducing the regulatory burden on universities; ensuring accountability of institutions through an accreditation system and provides a decentralized system of higher education accreditation. Monitored proposal from Department of Education to require individual student unit record reporting.
