Thanks Eric! Just to add to this, we just left the NEOA board meeting, and several folks had been told by friendly congressional staffers in their states to "be aware". Sounds like there may be some activity this summer on the Higher Ed act as well.

Good Morning Folks, 

I apologize for this coming to you a couple days after the fact, as I was having some technical difficulties sending to the listserv. All should be fixed now for future communications! 

Please see the attached link for an article regarding Betsy DeVos' recent support for the proposed FY19 budget, making cuts to the Department of Education and the elimination of some student aid programs.

Have a great rest of your week! 

Best,
