Senate Republicans are calling for an overhaul of federal higher education programs in President Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill” package.
“Our experiment in paying everything with a federal loan did not work out well. Lots of kids with debt, universities without accountability, and a big bill for the taxpayer. We’re trying to stop all that,” said Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), the chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee.
Cassidy unveiled the upper chamber’s education component of the bill back on June 10. He said the legislation aims to promote affordability, accountability and education access.
It calls for fewer student loan repayment options and new student loan limits.
