8,1985  \n# BUDGET NEGOTIATORS SETTLE ON FEWER CUTS IN STUDENT AID\n\nPresident Reagan and Senate Republicans have agreed on a fiscal 1986 budgetplan that the Office of Management and Budget says would cut significantly lessfrom the $8 billion student financial aid program than the administration orig-inally proposed.  \nThe new package,which is expected to come before the Senate for a vote theweek of April 22,would trim $370 million from student aid programs next year,compared to the $1.7 billion cut Reagan wanted(HED,Feb。4)。The proposalwould save $959 million in student aid spending in fiscal 1987 and $1.2 billionin fiscal 1988,OMB documents show.  \nAccording to OMB Director David Stockman,who briefed reporters late Thursdayafter the compromise was reached,the plan would eliminate Guaranteed StudentLoans(GSL)to students whose families earn more than $60,000,nearly doublethe $32,500 ceiling Reagan originally proposed.And it would cap governmentsubsidized aid at $8,000 per student,compared to the $4,000 cap Reagan wanted.  \nDifferent Cap The $8,000,however,is a different kind of cap in that itrepresents the total cost of education that the government will recognize whenfiguring student aid awards:  \nFor example,if a college charges $12,000 for tuition and through a needs testthe government determines a student's family can contribute $6,000 toward that,the student would be eligible for the difference between the $8,000 cap and the  \n$6,000 contribution,or $2,000.  \n\"Major Compromise\"Under Reagan's original plan,the same student mayhave been eligible for up to $4,000.Stockman,however,who was the WhiteHouse's key negotiator during the budget talks,said the student aid changesamount to \"a very major compromise\"by the administration that will eliminatefar fewer students from the aid program than would Reagan's initial plan.  \nOMB spokesman Edwin Dale Friday said the negotiators set the\"recognizablecost”cap at $8,000 because nearly all public universities cost that much orless and about half of private schools charge less.  \nBut Senate education aides,who were scrambling Friday to assess the proposal,said the revised cap could create havoc for some students,especially thoseattending high-cost private schools.\"It is a cap on something different thatcould result in something worse,\"said an aide.  \nCharles Saunders,vice president for governmental relations at the AmericanCouncil on Education,said Friday,\"I can't say it [the budget plan]hurts thepublic sector too much,but it impacts pretty hard on needy students attendingprivate institutions.\"(more)  \n# BUDGET NEGOTIATORS SETTLE ON FEWER CUTS IN STUDENT AID(Cont.)\n\nSen.Robert Stafford,R-Vt.,who chairs the Senate Education,Arts and Human-ities subcommittee,“1ikely will fight”the new plan on the Senate floor,anaide said.But he said Stafford,who was unavailable for comment Friday,iswaiting until his staff examines the plan before taking a firm position.  \nStafford,whose support as chairman of the Senate education panel is crucial tothe success of the plan,told budget negotiators earlier last week he wouldonly support the $200 million in GSL cuts that the Senate Budget Committeeapproved last month(HED,April 4)。  \nThose cuts,made mostly through administrative changes in loan disbursement andlenders'fees,are included in the $370 million in reductions the White House-Senate budget team decided on.  \nThe negotiators also plan to save by reducing \"overawards\"in the Pell Grantprogram,Stockman told reporters.A recent ED study said nearly 19 percent ofPell Grant money disbursed in the last three years was misawarded through caseerrors.About $3.6 billion was available this year for Pell Grants,which goto low-income students.\"We will set up some standards to reduce the errorrate,just like we set up and are working now for food stamps,Medicaid …andother means-tested programs,\"Stockman said.--Robin Wilson  \n#
