Today Congresswoman Foxx led a Higher Education Subcommittee hearing entitled "Improving Access and Affordability through Innovative Partnerships." Members of the Higher Education and Workforce subcommittee heard testimony about some of the ways post-secondary education institutions are meeting the needs of their changing student bodies through forming partnerships with private sector entities to reduce costs, strengthen degree programs, and enrich coursework.
