Reverse the Raid on Student Aid

Tuition rates at four year public schools have skyrocketed by 40% since 2001. Today's typical student borrower is $17,500 in debt after graduating from college. Yet last year, Congress - in a virtual party line vote forced by the past Republican majority - cut $12 billion out of student aid programs - even as interest rates on student and parent loans were being hiked UP last year. Instead of helping to deal with rising costs, the then-Republican Congress made college more expensive. The current Democratic Congress, however, is committed to making college more affordable and accessible.

We, the undersigned, call on Congressional Republicans to tackle the issue of affordability for higher education.
