Each of the proposals would support students and their families, as well as institutions of higher education, as they rebuild and move forward beyond the COVID-19 crisis. Like other sectors of our society, the pandemic has had a crippling impact on students and their families, who have had to cope with lost jobs, reduced wages, and in some cases, significant health challenges from COVID-19, which has disproportionately affected low-income students and communities of color. In the face of these challenges, some students have been forced to suspend their pursuit of a college education. This was particularly true of students at community colleges, which saw an estimated 10 percent decline in enrollment last fall. Since the onset of the pandemic, colleges and universities—public and private, small and large, urban and rural—have seen precipitous declines in revenues and soaring new expenses, and over 650,000 jobs were lost on campuses, roughly one of every eight positions.

On January 3, new members were sworn into office in both chambers, kicking off the new legislative session. The House returned to Democratic control for the first time since losing the 2010 midterm elections. The change in the majority marks a return to divided government, which was last seen under President Obama when Republicans controlled the House from 2011­2016. This marks the first time a House Democratic Majority has been paired with a Republican president since President George W. Bush's term ended in early 2009. The partial government shutdown has set the record for the longest­running shutdown. At the heart of the battle over funding is President Trump’s request for funding to build a southern border wall. Democrats have used their newfound House majority power to deny the President’s request for $5.7 billion and have offered to provide $1.3 billion in funding. In September 2018, President Trump signed into law full­year appropriations for Defense, Energy and Water, Labor/Health and Human Services/Education, the legislative branch and Military Construction/Veterans Affairs, funding nearly 75 percent of the federal government. Funds for the departments and agencies covered under these bills will run until September 30, 2019. However, lawmakers were unable to reach an agreement on the remaining seven appropriations bills: Agriculture, Commerce/Justice/Science, Financial Services, Homeland Security, Interior and Environment, State and Foreign Operations and Transportation/Housing and Urban Development.
