 Dear reader:
A new era of anxiety is emerging for higher education in these dark and uncertain times, a topic we are closely following at The Hechinger Report. One reason comes from early data showing sizable drops in federal financial aid applications, particularly in poorer areas.
Another comes from early admission enrollment trends that could threaten years of progress for families at the bottom of the income scale, along with plummeting community college enrollment and red flags that abound for many other four-year institutions.
Questions about student debt are all part of the equation, which is why we are bringing you an interactive look at loan debt, its rapid growth and who proposed forgiveness plans would help most. Take a look and send us your thoughts and concerns. We love to hear from our readers.
