6,1986  \n# HEA AT THE ONE-YEAR MARK:CONGRESSIONAL DIFFERENCES REMATN\n\nAs the marathon reauthorization process for the Higher Education Act slips into1ts second year,House and Senate versions of the HEA bill stil1 contain sig-nificant differences;differences that education lobbyists hope can be overcometo produce an optimum reauthorization package。  \nHEA must be reauthorized by the end of 1986 or the federal higher educationprograms it sets into law will expire.House and Senate staffers are confi-dent they can make that deadline,but few expect a bill ready for signingbefore the end of summer.  \nAlthough both the House-passed H.R。3700 and an unnamed bill approved by theSenate Education,Arts and Humanities Subcommittee contain striking similari-ties--such as reaffirmation of all federal student aid programs and increasesin maximum grants and loans--major differences remain in aid for part-time stu-dents,graduate student assistance and many other programs.  \n# Among the differences:\n\n■ Pell Grants--The House bill focuses a portion of its Pell Grant funding onstudents attending college less than half-time,while few changes in the pro-gram would be made under the Senate plan.  \nRichard Jerue,vice president for governmental affairs for the American Asso-ciation of State Colleges and Universities(AASCU),called the Senate plan'sPell Grant provision the“only major problem”AASCU has with the package.  \nThe Senate bill also would limit Pell Grants to students from families with an-nual incomes under $30,000,while the House bill would base grant distributionpurely on need.The American Council on Education estimates the Senate's pro-posed cap would eliminate or reduce the awards of 35,000 grant recipients.  \nHigh-cost private colleges would be most affected by the cap,estimates PeterRogoff,legislative assistant for the National Association of Independent Col-leges and Universitles.\"Our computer printouts show that this will kick outsome of those students most in need of the grants,\"he said.  \nYet,the Senate Pell Grant plan does have an advantage over its House counter-part in another area.While both plans would increase the maximum allowablePell Grant,the Senate package wouid increase it in fiscal 1987 to $2,400,theamount requested by the major education associations.(more)  \n(O  \n# HEA AT THE ONE-YEAR MARK:CONGRESSIONAL DIFFERENCES REMAIN(Cont.)\n\n■ Guaranteed Student Loan(GSLs)--The Senate package would increase the loanlimits for freshmen and sophomores to $3,000,while the House plan would keepthe 1imit at $2,500 for those students.On that matter,there is no consensusamong the higher education community:many members prefer the Senate plan,while others say it could make the debt burden for borrowers prohibitive.  \nThe House bill would allow state loan guarantee agencles to charge higher in-surance premiums to cover default and loan administration expenes,a positonsupported by the agencies.The House plan would allow between a 1 percent and3 percent premium,while the Senate plan would cap the premium at 1 percent.  \nThe Senate provision\"is far too low to sustain any agencies'operations,\"saidJean Frohlicher,executive director of the National Council of Higher EducationLoan Programs.\"That is really the only funds upon which an agency can bud-get,\"she said.  \nSeveral GSL cost-saving measures included in the House bill and supported byeducation associations failed to surface in the Senate bill,such as House pro-visions for loan consolidation and multiple disbursement.\"Those provisionshad been included in the budget reconciliation measure that Congress falled topass,\"Frohlicher said.\"I would assume those things will be in when a bill isfinally signed by the president.I suppose they saw no need to repeat the re-conciliation provisions.\"  \n■Adult and Graduate Education--Unlike the House proposal,the Senate's reau-thorization bill includes no provisions for adult and graduate student pro-grams.The Senate bill would repeal the Title I ","cbCaicdCQml2zI65","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicdCQml2zI65","pdf",1184534,"English","# HEA AT THE
