HEA
Reauthorization
To facilitate the receipt of comments and recommendations
for amending and extending the Higher Education Act (HEA), the
U.S. Education Department has established a web site
http://bcol01.ed.gov/CFAPPS/OPE/HEA/index.cfm from which
users can transmit their ideas. The website lists seven unique
questions for consideration (for example, "How can HEA
programs be changed to eliminate any unnecessary burdens on
students, institutions, or the federal government, yet
maintain accountability of federal funds?") and allows
interested parties to express thoughts under seven major
topics (from teacher preparation, recruitment, and development
to international education and graduate programs) and numerous
subtopics. All comments are requested on or before February
28. (Note: The agency's reauthorization goals and objectives
are available at
http://www.ed.gov/offices/OPE/reauthorization/HEAgoals.html.)
