It is time to renew the Higher Education Act. Given the significant impact this act has on the nation’s students and colleges, this should be a time for robust debate on how it can be used to help students, and even transform the system.

¹ú²úÊÓƵ’s Education Policy Program and the University of Pennsylvania Law School are joining forces to host a lively conversation on how reauthorization can be used to improve higher education and restructure the financial aid system to increase access and achieve better outcomes. Up for debate are new models like competency-based education. Despite the current political climate, can reauthorization be used to achieve the great feat of rethinking higher education writ large?
