Education is hot, hot, hot.
It is a subject that is in the midst of tremendous movement. Terry W. Hartle, senior vice president for government relations and public affairs for the American Council on Education, agrees. They also agree that higher education proponents and activists must define and drive their agendas while the subject enjoys popularity. The public has made education an issue that cannot be ignored, but a new administration and new actors in Congress lend an air of uncertainty to the political environment. At issue is the president's proposed tax cut.
