House Approves 2 Bills Toward Renewal of Higher Education Act
by Kelly Field
The Chronicle of Higher Education

The U.S. House of Representatives passed two higher-education bills on Wednesday, sending them to an uncertain fate in the Senate.

Among other things, the bills would create a demonstration project for competency-based education (HR 3136) and streamline the information the federal government provides to prospective students (HR 4983). The two bills were approved this month by the House education committee, as part of its piecemeal reauthorization of the Higher Education Act.

Lawmakers also extended for a year two key advisory committees: the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity, which advises the secretary of education on accreditation matters, and the Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance, which advises policy makers on student-aid policy.

It was a great conference. Although this was my first conference, I learned a lot, and I'm looking forward to next year.
