President Obama's budget for the Department of Education for the 2010 fiscal year would leave spending on most student-aid programs unchanged, but would largely spare higher education the program eliminations seen elsewhere in his budget.
Inside Higher Ed
May 8, 2009
As the Obama administration took the wraps off its full 2009-10 budget plan Thursday, there was plenty of praise from advocates for education and research about a spending plan that would dramatically increase spending on student financial aid and significantly bolster support for basic scientific research, particularly in the physical sciences.
Washington Post
May 8, 2009
President Obama's budget, released yesterday, would eliminate subsidies that have all but guaranteed profits to private lenders that issue loans with single-digit interest rates and terms that students wouldn't find in the private market. Instead, the administration would put all federal student lending under the government's Direct Loan Program, saving an estimated $41 billion. Industry representatives challenge that figure, but not convincingly, according to this editorial.
Bloomberg News

The Senate may vote on a bill as early as May 11 that would prevent credit-card companies from targeting college students by requiring parental consent for a borrower under age 21 unless there is proof of independent income or completion of a financial literacy course. A Senate panel approved the restrictions, which also limit credit-card interest rates and fees, in March.
Inside Higher Ed

A survey released by TIAA-CREF on Thursday confirms anecdotal evidence that many professors are indeed pushing back their plans for retirement because of the economic downturn. The data suggest that colleges may need to provide more incentives for retirements, or see far fewer people leave. And with many institutions already curtailing hiring, retirement delays could make a tight job market for new Ph.D.'s even tighter.
Wall Street Journal

The editors asked presidents at 10 colleges and universities to answer an essay question from their own school's application. Essays by the presidents of the University of Pennsylvania, Barnard College, Vassar College, and Wesleyan University are among those included.
