Higher Ed Groups ‘Appalled’ at House Budget Cuts - Katherine Knott, Inside Higher Ed

House Republicans proposed cutting money for Federal Work-Study and a childcare subsidy for parents in college. Those moves have left colleges worried about the impacts. NIH also would be cut. The latest budget proposal from House Republicans would eliminate funding for 60 programs including Federal Work-Study—cuts that have left higher education groups concerned. “We are very concerned and we are appalled by the elimination of programs that we’ve seen,” said Emmanual Guillory, senior director of government relations at the American Council on Education. “Cutting funding for programs that impact students is not something that we take lightly and is not something that we support, especially when there is no remedy to make up for that loss of funding elsewhere to benefit those students.”
