Tell your Senators to pass a reconciliation bill that will make it easier for the neediest students and their families to afford college, provide direct investment in community college programs and infrastructure, and support early childhood education and school construction and renovation programs.
Also urge your Senators to include strong language relating to academic staffing. A growing body of research shows the correlation between the declining investment in faculty and the increasing problems with student persistence, transfer and completion. Unless we take steps to reverse course and invest in all faculty, this trend will greatly impair the ability of our colleges and universities to reach the national goals Congress has set for them.
