Educational Legislation Through the Eyes of a Congressman

The second session of the 111th Congress does not suffer from a lack of legislation. It is obvious that any health care legislation from this Congress will affect all careers. The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act may not receive the media attention of its health care counterpart, but it may be no less important to careers in higher education. It appears on Sunday, March 21, these two bills will collide and be jointly voted on in the House of Representatives. This month, we are honored to have United States Representative Rubén Hinojosa (D-Texas), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Higher Education, Lifelong Learning, and Competitiveness as our HigherEd Careers guest. Rep. Hinojosa's knowledge on current legislation and his commitment to higher education offers many insights about the federal government's commitment to academe and how these new laws affect your career.
