Senate Extends Higher Education Act Through April

Earlier this month, the Senate extended the Higher Education Act (HEA) through April 30, which will give lawmakers more time to iron out differences between the House and Senate versions of the reauthorization measure. Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Mass) said that they will not reach an agreement before the start of the spring recess. The current extension expires at the end of March.

The law has not been fully renewed since 1998.
