Leading up to the U.S. House of Representatives vote on the American Rescue Plan of 2021, the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) along with dozens of higher education associations signed on to a letter written by the American Council on Education in support of the bill. ACCJC is pleased that the House passed the $1.9 trillion relief package, which includes almost $40 billion of aid for students and higher education institutions impacted by COVID-19.
ACCJC urges the U.S. Senate to pass the bill and will continue to advocate for resources and support for higher education as our country battles against the COVID-19 pandemic.
