OD: Plan for Declining Governmental Support

Recorded on: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 1:00 PM EDT

Overview

The White House remains committed to investing in higher education and promoting programs that enhance access to college.However, rising college costs have come under scrutiny by the administration, as well as by both Republicans and Democrats in Congress, who are taking a closer look at institutions of higher education across all sectors. In previous years, President Obama has called for more manageable loan repayments programs and proposed tying financial aid funding to tuition growth and other measures.

In addition, recent budget negotiations and anticipated spending debates in 2013 will continue to place pressure on federal spending. This presents possible cuts to research funding, changes to tax credits and deductions for individuals, potential new taxes on previously tax-exempt activities, and reallocations of funding to training and skills development programs. At the State level, budgetary pressures continue to threaten funds available for state appropriations to public colleges and universities and state grants to students.

Join us during this important discussion to learn more about what may be in store as the President and Congress attempt to address the federal deficit spending and establish new revenue and spending policies.Discuss how to plan for a future with declining governmental resources and federal funds that come with more outcomes requirements.
