Search for Higher Ed Legislation Proposed in Congress
Welcome Inside Higher Ed‘s legislation tracker, a database of the key higher-ed related bills lawmakers have proposed in Congress. Few will likely become law, but the proposals offer insights into how Republicans and Democrats want to reshape the sector.
So far, lawmakers have proposed 31 bills that would directly impact colleges and universities.
