House to Vote on College Costs
Five years after Republicans first proposed ideas to hold down the rising cost of a college education, the House is poised today to vote on a bill that would do exactly that. This morning the House will begin debate on H.R. 4137, the College Opportunity and Affordability Act. The bill includes a proposal crafted by Education and Labor Committee Senior Republican Buck McKeon to shine a spotlight on excessive tuition increases and hold colleges and states accountable for helping keep college affordable.
Rep. McKeon wrote an op-ed on the topic of college costs that appears online in today's edition of Inside Higher Ed. Click here to read his take on today's historic vote.
