UnidosUS Comments on Higher Education Act

Regulatory Comment

UnidosUS

UnidosUS has addressed a letter to Senate HELP Committee Chairman The Honorable Lamar Alexander and Ranking Member The Honorable Patty Murray, emphasizing the critical importance of reauthorizing the Higher Education Act (HEA) to advance equity in education.

Recognized as a civil rights act, the HEA has historically facilitated broader access to postsecondary education, benefiting Latino communities and contributing to national prosperity. Given that Latinos represent a significant and growing segment of the U.S. population and workforce, a reauthorized HEA must prioritize fairness and inclusion to ensure increased Latino participation and success in higher education, meeting the nation’s future economic needs.
