Current Topics in Higher Education, “Eye on Washington: Federal Higher Education Policy Pressures and the Path Ahead.
Join Tim Powers, Vice President for Government Relations and Policy Development at NAICU, for a conversation on the rapidly evolving higher education policy landscape and what it means for institutions like Bryn Mawr. Tim will discuss recent changes enacted in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act affecting student financing and institutional accountability, including the growing emphasis on program-level outcomes and earnings-based metrics.
The session will also explore mounting challenges facing colleges and universities—from uncertainty in the federal student aid and research funding environment to heightened scrutiny from policymakers seeking clearer measures of value and return on investment. Tim will close with a look ahead to Capitol Hill, outlining key policy debates on the horizon and how evolving accountability frameworks may continue to reshape expectations for higher education in the years ahead.
