Federal Issues Portal
This Portal is designed to allow the membership access to important
websites that provide information on several levels on federal issues.
The U.S. Department of Education has done an excellent job of providing
information on the Web that is extremely helpful with financial
aid administration. However, the membership will find this web site
helpful because it allows for quick entry into other key web sites
and portals. The web site will become more useful as the membership
seeks information on reauthorization and the positions key higher
education organizations have taken. A live Portal demonstration
is on the agenda for the Fall October Conference.
How to Use The Portal
The Portal will allow you access to major higher education web sites.
You will be able to link to the U.S. Department of Education, NASFAA,
U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives. The membership
will be able to locate legislative representatives and view pending
higher education legislation. The Reauthorization process is complex
and the Portal can assist you in connecting to resources that may
help to acquaint you with the process and show you how to become
more involved in the legislative debate and process. The Portal
is being constantly updated and new items added to make the site
more informative and user-friendly.
