Federal, state, institutional and private parties need to rethink how they are helping — and even hindering low- and moderate-income students’ advancement in higher education, said panelists at an event at Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College of Education and Human Development on Friday.
Hosted by the U.S. Department of Education’s Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance, the event brought together seven college presidents, lender representatives, state higher education officers, education scholars and advocates in a two-hour roundtable discussion.
