It's a glaring reminder of the barriers that prevent capable individuals from pursuing higher education. We must advocate for a system that supports, not hinders, the aspirations of students from all backgrounds. https://lnkd.in/eQvJTxw8 #EducationReform #StudentDebt #InclusiveEducation

NEW BLOG & ANALYSIS | Chairwoman Virginia Foxx introduced the College Cost Reduction Act (CCRA) earlier this year.
