H.R. 609 breakdown + August recess
This Inside Higher Ed article breaks down H.R. 609.

Of note, however: "With the House committee's work done for now, further action on the Higher Education Act is unlikely until after Congress's August recess, when the full House is expected to take up the legislation approved Friday and the Senate will draft its own version of the bill."
With the August recess coming up, representatives will be coming home to their districts, and it's a perfect time to stop by their offices to talk to them about our issues. Let's take advantage of it and let our representatives know our concerns, and also let them know how their response to our concerns affects our vote.
