a pell promise would act as an early commitment program for the pell grant program. would teach students as early as ninth grade by notifying by how much they will be able to receive in the future and a guarantee of that amount if they complete high school successfully. we believe strongly that making the pell grant program more flexible and continuing to advocate will help this country move the needle for low-income and at-risk students. i will now talk about the federal campus based programs which are a critical piece of student financial aid and include the federal supplemental educational grant. federal work study and the federal perkins loan program. all need based. these are deemed campus based because even though they are federal funds, the funds are allocated directly to participating institutions based on a formula. and the institutions then determine using federal guidelines which of their students receive the funds as well as those award amounts. the formula, the place where many believe the inequity exists is based on two principles. first the fair share

>> the collect data on pell grants -- they do publish data by colleges. pell grant percent. but they don't publish it -- they publish what percentage at uva or college pell grant. we know that. but we don't know it by -- as a general statistic. >> any other questions? commissioner narasaki? >> i had hoped there would be someone from an hbcu testifying and apparently they weren't able to come. so my understanding, i was talking to someone who had an hbcu down i think it was in alabama or mississippi. they were telling me that actually hbcus have a large percentage of non-african-american students attending. and the hbcus end up doing a lot of remediation support. so i'm just wondering if any of you have expertise to comment on the hbcu system. >> there is a general truth to what you say. there has been an expansion in the non-african-american component in hbcu enrollments. there's a broader problem with hbcus which is there has been a very significant decline in enrollments at a large number of schools in recent years. and this is -- it's getting to the very serious point. i

from academic year from 2013-2014 pell grants were cut. in year 5 all students received a 3/4 cut, 1/2 to 3 quarter cuts to pell grants and year six it was cut out completely. this resulted in a loss of $5500 per year to students. this academic year additional limits put on financial aid was on again by the federal government. no students was grandfathered in and including students admitted under prior policies. these led to an increase in student loans. students were taking out higher aggregate limits. while we understand the goal was to reduce student loan usage according to what they said to us. that is not the case. this led to an increase. when you cut out grants, where is is that money going to come from? it has to come from somewhere else to fund education, housing, etc. students now are being stream lined through the university. this is our opinion on it. we also feel the new policy is discriminatary towards disabled students and low income because of the large number of students of affects. right now the government spends between

we% have a pell grants. been in state state grant called the hope scholarship 3500 annually for freshmen and sophomores, up to 4500 for juniors and seniors. so it is within reach for most students. what about what expensive colleges? the elite so-called schools, private tuition and fees at private universities about $31,000 per i saw a georgetown university president the other day. he said this is what they do. they figured out how much a family or student cam afford it. to ask the student to bar up to $4500 a year. to ask the student to work 10 to 15 hours a week and the university pays the rest risk of georgetown-based $100 million a year to help pay $60,000 a year at georgetown. so for many students so-called elite universities are a table. despite all this some people still need money and so you can borrow money. we hear a lot about student loan's, taxpayers generous enough is borrowing for can't be good investment for our students borrowing too much works one way to answer this is to compare student loa

we want to make sure that the pell grant, the purchasing power of the pell grant remains high. i think those -- so there are two edgy ideas that republicans in particular on the committee and around have. one, the chairman had commissioned earlier this spring on the idea of giving colleges and universities skin in the game, having a share of risk for loans that go into default for their graduates. what do you think of that idea? >> i think that we've -- you know we have always thought about colleges and universities needing to share in accountability. for outcomes. and so risk sharing for us is one of the ideas in that overall bucket and the administration mentioned i think routinely interested in engaging universities as partners. >> another idea, marco rubio in particular and others are talking about basically deregulating the accreditation and trying to create more pathways in the institution that can access federal student loans. >> two states of unions also address this and address, i think, what we regard as the -- sort of the twin problems in accreditation. one is that w

>> the collected data on pell grants, they do publish data by colleges, l. brent percent but they don't publish it by they published what percentage at uva our college pell grant. we know that but we don't know it by as a general statistic. >> any other questions? commissioner narasaki. >> yes. i forgot this. i hope it would be someone from an hbc testifying, and apparently they were able to come. so my understanding in pockets of some hbcu down i think was in alabama or mississippi, they were telling me that actually hbcus these days have a large percentage of non-african-american students attending. and the hbcus into doing a lot of remediation support. so i'm just wondering if any of you have expertise to comment on the hbcu system? >> there is a general truth to what you say. there has been an expansion in the non-african-american component in hbcu enrollments. there's a broader problem with hbcus which is there has been a very significant decline in enrollments at a large number of schools in recent years. and this is you know it's getting to the very s

so pell of course provides some resources. i am concerned, particularly for students of color and low income that, it's been at recent times excluded from summer session. that's an artificial barrier to students. if they fall behind they could get back quicker during the summer. i think there's a policy issue that there that should be reconsidered. the model is interesting to try on a pilot basis. i actually come from the belief that we ought to be clear as a nation and as state and in my case as a system on goals but loose on the means to get there. so the campus can tailor their financial aid around the types of students we have, which differ from the students that we have at san luisob obispo. so meeting certain objectives, i this is important as well. but it's a combination of the avenues. education is so individualized and personalized. yet we're doing it at a big scale. virginia is a big place. and so that's the challenge in front of us. how do we manage both the flexibility, hold people high on accountability but have o

pell provides some resources. i'm concerned that students of color in low income in recent times are excluded from summer sessions. i think that is an artificial barrier to students. they fall behind a course, they could get back on course and get some support during the summer. i think there is a policy there that should be reconsidered. the stipend model i think is interesting to try on a pilot basis. i actually believe we are to be clear as a nation and as a system on the goal, but loose on the means to get there. a campus like fullerton can tailor financial aid around the types of students they have, which differ from the students that we have at cal poly san luis obispo. so some degree of flexibility i think would be paramount and then hold campuses accountable with data on success in meeting certain objectives. that is important as well. but it's a combination of these avenues. education for a student is so personalized and individualized, yet we are doing it in a big scale. virginia is a big place. so i thi

remember about 40% have a pell grant. at the university of tennessee almost all have an in-state state grant called the hope scholarship. $3,500 annually for sophomores, up to $4500 for juniors and seniors. so a degree is available for most students. what about really expensive colleges? the elite so-called schools. tuition is about $31,000. i saw the georgetown university president the other day. he said this is what they do. they figure out how much a family or student can afford. they ask the student to borrow up to $4,500 a year. they ask the student to work 10 or 15 hours a week in a work study program and the university pays the rest. they help students pay $60,000 a year at georgetown. and many other private universities do the same. so for many so-called elite universities, they are available. in spite of all this some people still need money. so you can borrow money. we hear a lot about student loans. our taxpayers generous enough, is borrowing for college a good investment. are students borrowing too much? one w

you run out of pell grant eligibility if you're caught in that swirl. you may go into the four-year institution, and after your second semester you're out and you're in deep trouble. access has always been a particular concern of mine. the impact of standardized tests is something that has always concerned me and we don't need to get too much into that right now, i want to ask this question because i have you all here. have you seen, and i'm not an sad vow cat for or against have you seen any impact in terms of minority application rate or minority scores in applications with regard to the consequence of common core coming into the curriculum at the high school level? has someone seen anything there is it too early to tell, i would suppose? it's something you could watch for and look for that's obviously going to have some critics that common core is testing or curriculum may decrease the number of minority graduates from high school. >> i think we're actually unlike some places in the country are leaning forward pretty strongly on common core, as we go

more than 50% of students at minority serving institutions receive pell grants. that's compared to 31% of all students and nearly half of all students at minority serving institutions are first generation college students, versus 35% of those at majority institutions. community ledges have an particularly important role to play in providing educational and degree opportunities for minority students. approximately half of all hispanic students enrolled in post secondary education attend two-year institutions. as do a third of african-american students. affordability and open enrollment policies are often cited as key reasons why a community college is likely to be more appealing to students for low-income backgrounds or those who may be less prepared academically for higher education. the office of post secondary education also administers federal trio programs that serve low-income students at various points in the educational pipeline for middle school all the way through graduate school. you may be familiar with some of these programs such as talent search, upw

i think making pell year round is a good first step. simplifying pfaff a so that more eligible students actually apply and get the financial aid they're already entitled to a second step. those would be the more immediate recommendations. >> and i had one more add on to that. so mr. haskins' slide show that there's actually a decrease in work study if i read the slide correctly? so i'm wondering if that's a concern that we're actually spending less on work study? a prior panel had noted that they felt that the chancellor noted that he felt one of the most important things was to address fact that we don't have the traditional old-fashioned kids 18 years old just out of high school going to college but now we have older students with families who do need to work and so one of the biggest challenges for successful getting to a degree is can you stay in college if you're working full time even if you're getting your tuition taken care of. >> i think work study is critical. research indicates the longer a student is on a campus the more lik

as you know, there's roughly 7,000 students of higher education that participate in the federal pell grant and/or federal programs. many of these participate in one or more of the seog, federal work study and federal perkins loans programs. i'll speak to the three programs and turn my attention to the various trio programs. let me start by noting that there are very positive impacts of the programs. i know there are proponents of rolling a lot of the programs into one loan one grant one work, to make the process more streamlined, and while that sounds great in theory, speaking to our campus based people on the front line the deal with students this does not hold true in practice. they are campus based and student based really. the institutions know their students and have flexibility under program requirements to award the funds accordingly because of that the relatively small dollars invested in the programs have a tremendously high return relative to retention persistence, and graduation rates for under remitted students. these programs level the educational playing field for under

i think making pell year round is a good first step. simplifying fafsa so more eligible students apply and get the financial aid they are entitled to. those would be the more immediate recommendations. >> i had one more to add on to that. mr. haskins slide showed there is a decrease in work-study, if i read the slide correctly. is that a concern that we are spending less on work-study? the prior panel felt one of the most important things was to address the fact we don't have the traditional, old-fashioned kids just out of high school going to college, but now we have older students with families who do need to work. so, one of the bigger challenges for successfully getting to would a degree is if you could stay in college if you are working full-time, even if you're getting your tuition taking care of. >> i think work-study is really critical. the research indicates the longer a student is on a campus, the more likely they will feel like they belong. the more likely they will succeed and get to graduation. work study helps you that. i

and so it ought to be clear that your pell grant you can keep. your loan you've got to pay back and making that clear. i've talked to elizabeth warren about this a few times when she was at the consumer bureau. she said her goal was a one-page mortgage application. because a 22-page mortgage application doesn't do anything for the consumer because you just go through and sign the bottom of every page without knowing what it is. and a good clear one pager would help. so a lot of good, clear one pagers is what i'm looking for. >> ted mitchell who was sitting in the chair a few minutes ago says the administration is on track with its own data effort to put out its college rating system to be available later this year. you have said i believe the department's attempt will fall on its face. why do you think that and why do you think they shouldn't be doing this? >> well, i don't think they have the capacity to do it. i mean, we -- i used to work there. we have 6,000 colleges and universities. how are you going to rate and why do we need -- why do we c

i would love to see year-round pell come back because that was so important. we only had one year with that. we saw a great return from that one year. so that would be wonderful if we could get that wraparound pell back for students. so i think, other than that, i think a lot of the responsibility to release that part of the tension really lies with the institutions as cheryl is intimating. i think the federal government could help us be consistent with pell. stay wit. don't be afraid to raise it and make it available year-round. >> it is certainly intentioned and you think part of the issue here is that we've provided a lot of college access in name only for a lot of people. we provided access to a few credits and some debt and inability to pay it back. we need to ask serious questions whether that is what we meant by access when we first passed the higher ed act. you know, we spent a couple of years now bemoaning the fact for-profit colleges for instance enrolling people unlikely to be successful right? so that to me strikes me as a problem across the board

china is building artificial islands in in reefs on the arch pell ago. they are 600 miles from the coastline and closer to other countries laying claim to them. like vietnam, malaysia and brunei. this is significant. according to international law, a country's jurisdiction over territorial parts extends over 12 nautical miles. china is clearly outside the boundaries. in the images, you can see how far the island grew. the image on the left, you have to zoom in a little bit near the top of it, is from march 31st, 2014. the one on the right is from august 7th. that's dramatic progress in five months. here is the latest image. a close up taken on january 30th this year. tuesday, china announced that the land building part of the project should be completed within days. the next step is to build facilities, including military defense. china says it primarily intends to use the island for peaceful purposes, like maritime rescues and weather observations. no one is buying that because the islands in are in the middle of a productive finishing areas and a busy
