College Access and Opportunity Act of 2006
Sponsor: JOHN BOEHNER (R-OH)
College Access and Opportunity Act of 2006 - Amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA) to revise and reauthorize appropriations for HEA programs. Title I: General Provisions - (Sec. 101) Establishes a single definition of institution of higher education (IHE) for purposes of participation in all HEA programs, including title IV student aid programs. (As a consequence, the 90/10 rule under title IV, which currently applies only to for-profit IHEs, would apply to public and nonprofit IHEs as well.
Education Topic assigned by the Congressional Research Service. CRS gives each bill one topic, based on the bill as introduced. This one carries 212 subject terms, so it spans well beyond that single label.
