  • Mounting Peril for Public Higher Education During the Coronavirus Pandemic by Victoria Yuen June 11, 2020
    Mounting Peril for Public Higher Education During the Coronavirus Pandemic By Victoria Yuen June 11, 2020 The coronavirus pandemic has led to the most difficult semester in generations on college campuses across the United States. With that semester now wrapping up, public colleges and universities are facing costs that already dwarf the $7.6 billion in federal stimulus funds that are on their way to these institutions.1 Absent dra- matic new action from Congress, many of the public colleges that support social mobility will confront an existential threat. In just one example of the brutal math that college leaders are facing, Rutgers University—a public university system serving more than 71,000 students—has spent $50 million to refund students for unused campus services such as dining, housing, and parking as a direct result of the pandemic.2 In addition, the univer- sity system will lose $60 million resulting from canceled surgical procedures at Rutgers medical centers.3 On top of that, the Rutgers system is losing another $73 million in state appropriations for the extended fiscal year that ends on September 30, 2020, after Gov. Phil Murphy (D-NJ) announced a state spending freeze.4 Rutgers will get some of its lost state appropriations back as Gov. Murphy has decided to give $68.8 million from the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund portion of the CARES Act back to New Jersey’s higher education institu- tions; how much they will receive is yet to be determined.5 That adds up to at least a $183 million hit to Rutgers’ budget just through the end of June.

Currently, current lack of clarity is paralyzing for schools. ■ Biden plans to support the efforts of Local Education Agencies by issuing federal reopening guidelines that answer basic questions many school systems have. 1. How low does the community infection rate need to be to reopen and at what point should schools shut down again if cases rise? 2. What are safe maximum class sizes? 3. 4If schools cannot accommodate everyone, who should return to the classroom first? Emergency Funding for Public Schools Biden’s 3rd step is to provide additional funding to public schools to contend with the coronavirus outbreak. Thus far, Biden has requested the following aid to support LEA’s reopening strategies.

  • Heroes Act 2.0: Key Funding and Provisions of Interest to Aplu Institutions
    HEROES ACT 2.0: KEY FUNDING AND PROVISIONS OF INTEREST TO APLU INSTITUTIONS On September 28, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and House Democrats introduced the Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act 2.0, their updated Phase IV COVID-19 relief bill. The $2.2 trillion package, more than $1 trillion below the original HEROES Act passed this past May, would provide relief for state and local governments, healthcare workers, K-12 and institutions of higher education, small businesses, federal agencies, and other critical segments of the economy impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. See bill text, section by section summary, one-pager, and state and local relief provisions. Of particular note, HEROES 2.0 would provide $39 billion to institutions of higher education, approximately $2 billion above what is included in the HEROES Act, but far below the higher education community’s updated request of $120 billion to cover reopening costs, address substantial losses and expenses of institutions, and provide support to students. The additional higher education funding in HEROES 2.0 is targeted toward HBCUs and MSIs. HEROES 2.0 also includes $3 billion in research relief funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and an additional $1 billion for NIH to expand COVID-19 research. In a positive change from the original HEROES Act, HEROES 2.0 would appropriate $2.9 billion to the National Science Foundation to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus, including to fund research grants, extensions of existing research grants, cooperative agreements, scholarships, and fellowships. Unfortunately, the bill does not include research relief funding for other federal science agencies.
