Academia has changed its collective relationship with public discourse, but this IHE piece offers good reasons to re-engage.
[Subskeet: I do miss commenting on IHE articles, and wish they'd find a way to bring that back. No, I don't mean letters to the editor.]

"In contrast to the deep cuts and program eliminations proposed to Congress by the White House, this bill reflects an important bipartisan, bicameral commitment to existing federal support for students and the long-standing, effective higher education programs that serve them." - Jessica Thompson, Interim President/Executive Vice President at The Institute for College Access & Success
Today, Congress released a bipartisan, bicameral bill for FY26 that maintains essential #HigherEd funding. We urge them to reaffirm the Ed Dept's standing and ensure future bills include much-needed increases for #FinAid, especially #PellGrants. Read more: buff.ly/y3m2LCg

On July 1, 2026, new restrictions will deny #PellGrants to students who earn scholarships or come from families with small farms or businesses, even if they still can’t afford college. The same law eliminates income-driven loan repayment plans, forcing typical graduates to pay nearly $3,000 more..

This does not disqualify or prohibit students from submitting a FAFSA if they wish to apply for federal aid programs such as #PellGrants.
@buffywicks.bsky.social & Assembly Appropriations Committee members, please vote YES on #SB323 to protect access and choice. @senatorsrp.bsky.social
That "big, beautiful" bill may expand #PellGrants, but without accountability and #StudentLoan protections, some programs will likely keep taking advantage of students.
✂️ Here, our #HigherEd team examines how federal aid changes will leave aspiring cosmetologists with high debt—and low earnings.
As students head back to school, let’s be clear: Republicans voted to slash higher education funding. In the #FightingFifth, 52% of students rely on #PellGrants, just like I did. I’ll keep fighting to make sure every student has access to opportunity.
Again, w/ genuine & sincere respect, I post #Trump's #J6 #CapitolRiot ⬇️ version of a "day of love," as well as the #PeopleMagazine pic ↘️, because #Trump & his servile #Republicans intend to keep #MAGANation uneducated or misinformed, e.g. #FOXNews #DeptOfEd #PellGrants #CPB

Trump can't kill the law, so he's firing those who enforce it. McMahon v. NY opens the door to hollowing out federal agencies—starting with Education.

A positive to come out of #bigbeautifulbill is workforce #pellgrants for short term, job-focused training programs. As a higher ed professional, this will mean $$$ for my institution.
6. On Education Cuts:
Non-partisan analysis: The #OBBBA will harm education by impacting Pell Grants for low-income students and redirecting funds from public schools via tax shelters for the rich. Less access to opportunity.(Meaning the poor and marginalized) #EducationCuts #PellGrants #PublicEd
an equivalent number of credit hours, offered by an eligible
institution during a minimum of 8 weeks, but less than 15
weeks;

A new bill would raise Pell Grant eligibility to 15 credit hours—putting part-time students at risk of losing aid. Read more: zurl.co/0o8KG

June 4th @EdWorkforceCmte hearing highlighted the urgent need to protect #TRIO, #PellGrants, and federal student aid. Cuts threaten access and equity in higher ed. At @unlv, these programs serve thousands. We must invest in student success—not defund it.
