Plan for Declining Governmental Support

Wednesday, January 30, 2013 1:00 PM EDT

Overview

Federal subsidies for higher education have been under scrutiny by the United States Congress for the past few years. While the White House and new administration remains committed to investing in higher education and promoting programs that enhance access to college through more manageable loan repayments programs, proposals to tie financial aid funding to tuition affordability is an extremely difficult issue for most private universities.

In addition, budget negotiations in 2012 and moving forward into 2013 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 how to plan for a future with declining governmental support and government support that comes with more outcomes requirements and taxes.
