Federal Budget Reform Opportunities in Higher Education for 2026
CATO
2026.05.13
Over the decades, federal programs have accumulated in higher education. Some of these programs have been rendered obsolete or redundant by subsequent developments, while others have failed to achieve their intended purpose. As a result, there are several federal policy reforms that would improve higher education policy and save taxpayers money. In this report I identify policies that would save more than $265 billion over the next 10 years, including eliminating subsidized loans, eliminating or capping Public Service Loan Forgiveness, modifying the Repayment Assistance Plan, phasing out campus-based aid, repealing ineffective tax expenditures, and benchmarking research overhead rates.
