Talk:Higher Education Act of 1965

Neither Resource Works
I just clicked both URLs listed in the Resources section, attempting to find the text of this act to read in order to understand the context of my Federal Perkins Loan Master Promissory Note, and both URLs turned up 404 Not Found. Either remove these URLs, correct mistakes or notify the organizations of their missing resources, please. -- Newagelink (talk) 20:31, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Constitutional
Can someone explain how this is constitutional? I was under the impression that the 10th amendment limited federal powers to those explicitly laid out in the constitution. Stuff like mints, regulating currency, post offices, congress, etc... but doesnt mention regulating education which, according to the constitution, should be left up to the states, along with everything else not explicitly listed. So how can acts like this get passed that allow for federal department of education?

anybody know how this works? 72.174.2.252 10:13, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

The department of education does not regulate education; for instance, it does not establish a curriculum. It provides resources to promote education. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.116.224.62 (talk) 00:28, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

2008 MPAA/RIAA insertions
There seems to be no mention of the anti-p2p content (http://www.educause.edu/node/645/tid/34600?time=1281218309#annual) put forward by the entertainment industry. In light of educated opposition (such as http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/CSD5226.pdf) I can understand if it's a hot-button topic, but it still seems odd that nothing's been said about it. 71.127.170.220 (talk) 22:20, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

I added a section about it. It was appropriately sourced. I expect a MPAA/RIAA bot to have it deleted by the end of the week. Good catch by the way. 11 AUG 2014 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.186.162.194 (talk) 04:33, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

You mean it said it expires in December 2006 and I switched it to Expired. Patranous

None of these reference links work. Someone needs to look up new references to back up these statements... Mysteryquest 18:25, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Changed some links. Hope this will cause important information to become expanded upon. Also, changed the link from the Students for Sensible Drug Policy to the case of SSDP VS Spellings, as topic refers to case, and not group.

Textbook compliance
Seems strange this is missing any notes or explanations of the Textbook changes, which are notable, as if colleges do not apply HEOA correctly, including textbook cost and information disclosure, they're not eligible for Federal student aid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.7.96.147 (talk) 19:03, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Dated
Hey all, I just wanted to point out that it is October 2019 and the latest information refers to reauthorization being extended until 2015. Not my area of expertise to update, but I wanted to point this out to anyone who is monitoring the page. Dkelber (talk) 19:43, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

1976 bankruptcy restrictions on student loans
As of 2022, US student loan debt is a topic of political debate. According to Tate law - When did student loans become nondischargeable in bankruptcy?:
 * Federal student loans became nondischargeable in bankruptcy proceedings in 1976. Before then, debtors could discharge student loan debt along with most types of consumer debt.
 * That ended in 1976 when Congress amended the Higher Education Act of 1965.
 * In Section 439A of the Act, Congress made student loans nondischargeable . ..

This strikes me as an important revision to the Higher Education Act. Does the linked page, Tate law, qualify as a reliable source?

Updates needed
"The current authorization for the programs in the Higher Education Act expired at the end of 2013 but has been extended through 2014 while Congress prepares changes and amendments." 45.31.101.135 (talk) 15:11, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
