Hello. Washington began to get serious this week about funding the federal
government going forward, and higher education was in the thick of the
debate. President Obama and House Republicans put forward very different
approaches to many key programs for colleges and students, setting up a
potential showdown in the coming weeks over that and other priorities.
Several articles below explore that dynamic. Plus Texas' governor proposes a
$10,000 bachelor's degree, and one leading liberal arts college tries to
cuts its tuition price and tries reframe the national discussion about
college prices. That and more below. Enjoy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

colleges and students, while President Obama would cut surgically from
higher ed:

MAXIMUM PELL, AT ALL COSTS: Obama administration's 2012 budget plan would
keep the top grant at $5,550 -- but would pay for it by ending year-round
Pell Grant and a loan subsidy for graduate students:
