Insider Insights: 100 Days of Biden

Education under the Joe Biden administration will look vastly different from how it was under former President Donald Trump for many reasons. Certainly Betsy DeVos’s focus on charter schools is gone, but there are three key pieces of policy that have or will come out in 2021 that are sure to affect education – the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, budget planning for 2022 and the new infrastructure bill.
On this episode of Insider Insights: 100 Days of Biden, Jim Wiltraut and Chuck Kolling, senior principals in Buchanan’s Federal Government Relations practice, discuss the future of education under President Biden. Beyond new policy, there’s much to discuss in the world of student debt relief and Kolling shares his thoughts on what those in the higher education space need to know.
In this episode, Chuck and Jim cover:
- The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and what impact it will have on educational institutions
- The return of earmarks in the federal budget process for 2022 and what those in education should be saying to their representatives
- President Biden’s infrastructure bill and what might be available for colleges and universities
- Federal student loan debt forgiveness and whether or not the President will actually move to forgive all or some of it
- How the President and his Department of Education may address the future of schools in the COVID and post-COVID world
- The biggest differences in approach between Former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and current secretary Miguel Cardona
