Opinion - Higher ed reform shouldn't punish low-income students

Congress is understandably concerned about the return on federal investment in higher education and the $1.6 trillion in federal student loan debt. But in its rush to fix a system that too often fails low-income students, the Trump administration's 'one big, beautiful bill' would further reduce opportunity and access for those very students and jeopardize the work of colleges and universities doing the most to serve them. If passed, the bill would enact sweeping changes to federal financial aid and accountability rules. Some of its goals are worthy. Colleges should be transparent about student outcomes. They should be accountable for quality. And no student should graduate, or drop out, with insurmountable debt. But reducing access to loans for the students who face the steepest barriers to opportunity is not the way to achieve those goals. One provision of the proposed bill would eliminate subsidized federal loans, which currently prevent interest from accruing while undergraduates are still in school. For students from low-income backgrounds who already borrow more than their wealthier peers, this would significantly increase the cost of a college degree. Another proposal would cap the amount of aid a student could receive at a national median cost by program, without regard for the individual student's or family's specific economic need. The legislation would also eliminate PLUS Loans and raise the minimum course load required to receive full Pell Grant aid, even though many working students enroll part-time by necessity, not choice. Reducing Pell Grant access is counterproductive to lowering student debt. Pell Grant recipients already account for seven of every 10 federal student loan borrowers, and, on average, incur $4,500 more in debt than other non-Pell graduates Capping graduate student borrowing, especially in health and public service fields, would undercut workforce development just as we face national shortages of nurses, teachers and social workers. And the bill's 'risk-sharing' proposal, which would penalize colleges when student loans are forgiven, even through programs like Public Service Loan Forgiveness, would shift resources away from need-based aid and student support and discourage institutions from enrolling those most in need. That includes institutions like the University of Mount Saint Vincent, which I lead. Ours is a small, private, nonprofit university in the Bronx founded in 1847 to educate young women at a time when few others would. Today, we serve students of every background, and more than half are the first in their family to attend college. More than half of our undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Ninety percent of our graduate students are preparing for public service careers in education, nursing or healthcare. And like many mission-driven colleges, we make enormous investments in financial aid and academic support, precisely because we know what it takes for low-income and first-generation students to thrive. This bill threatens our ability to invest in students and potential. It would impose a six-figure penalty, rising annually, because we enroll the very students we were founded to serve. That's not accountability. That's a deterrent. And we are not unique. Hundreds of small, private colleges across the country, many of them religiously affiliated, offer intimate learning environments, close faculty support and flexible programs that enable students to work while pursuing their degrees. These institutions are among the most accessible and most responsive options for students who are otherwise being left behind in higher education. The better path forward is one that strengthens accountability for all institutions without dismantling the tools that low-income students need to access and afford college in the first place. That means preserving need-based aid, not narrowing it. And it means supporting colleges that produce teachers, nurses and public servants, not penalizing them. At a time when the U.S. risks falling behind in educational attainment and workforce readiness, we should be doubling down on institutions that help students rise. The question isn't whether reform is needed, but whether we're reforming the right things. Susan R. Burns, Ph.D., is president of the University of Mount Saint Vincent in the Bronx.

Florida CFO post still vacant as DeSantis delays pick

Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet held their first meeting on June 6 since Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis left his post for Congress on April 1. His position, though, remains vacant because DeSantis hasn't named his replacement. The vacancy didn't trip up the meeting; each new regulation or rule change was approved unanimously by DeSantis, Attorney General James Uthmeier and Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson. But the absence of a CFO still leaves a major state agency – in charge of paying state vendors and overseeing insurance, financial regulators and fire investigations – without a leader. Susan Miller, who was chief of staff under Patronis, is currently in charge of the Department of Financial Services, but she wasn't officially named CFO, even on an interim basis by DeSantis. Patronis criticized that arrangement last week, likening it to allowing 'an auto-pen to sign the checks of the state of Florida,' as he stated on a show hosted by former U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz. 'I watched every single dollar, I could audit every single transaction, I could question any finances anywhere in the state if it's taxpayer related," Patronis said. "Without a CFO in place, who in the hell is doing the business of the people? 'The (state) constitution specifically states that the only person that can sign checks is the CFO of the state of Florida.' A spokesperson for DeSantis didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment. Previously, DeSantis said he would appoint a CFO by mid-May – after the scheduled end of the regular legislative session. But amid a stalemate over budget talks between the House and Senate, the session was extended. Talks have resumed and lawmakers hope to approve a final budget by June 16. Selecting the next CFO, though, could put DeSantis at odds again with President Donald Trump. DeSantis drew insults from Trump during the 2024 GOP primary for President, but since Trump won there's been a détente between the two. State Sen. Joe Gruters, R-Sarasota, is a Trump loyalist who has already jumped into the 2026 race for CFO and has received Trump's endorsement. But Gruters clashed with DeSantis when he was chair of the Republican Party of Florida, and again when he endorsed Trump during the primary and not DeSantis. A staunch DeSantis supporter, state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, is seen as the more likely choice to replace Patronis. Gruters, though, has said he intends to run for the seat in 2026 even if DeSantis appoints someone else. That could set up a heated – and expensive – GOP primary battle for the CFO position next year. Gray Rohrer is a reporter with the USA TODAY Network-Florida Capital Bureau.
