Bill overview
The Higher Education Reform and Opportunity Act aims to reform student loan programs and increase accountability within higher education institutions. It consolidates federal student loans into a single program, phases out loan forgiveness, and establishes new reporting requirements for schools. Specifically, it makes postsecondary education courses eligible for federal aid if accredited by a state with an alternative accreditation agreement, requires institutions to publish data on student success and loan repayment, and introduces a system of fines for institutions with high student loan default rates. The bill also modifies the definition of ‘institution of higher education’ to include certain alternative accreditation programs.
