CECU Statement on the House Education Committee’s Higher Education Bill

​Today Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Education and Labor Committee Chairman Bobby Scott, Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Investment Chairwoman Susan Davis, and Committee on Veterans' Affairs Chairman Mark Takano, introduced a higher education bill, known as the “College Affordability Act.”  Following its release, Steve Gunderson, President and CEO of Career Education Colleges and Universities, released the following statement:

​“We are disappointed in the House proposal continuing the old ideological debates when the nation is seeking 19 million new skilled workers each year! It is time to get beyond politics to establish a higher education roadmap for the future. Senator Alexander’s proposal gets it right: All programs at all schools must meet the same standards of quality and outcomes as a condition of participation in federal financial aid.”
