After the presidential election, some House Democrats discussed the possibility of moving an education spending bill before the end of the year. But support for that idea appears to be fading, said Barmak Nassirian, associate executive director of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.
Nassirian says he also sees a benefit in waiting until Obama takes office. In addition to a Democrat in the White House, the party will have gained seats in the new Congress convening in January.
“I don’t see an advantage of pushing a more Democratic budget bill right now,” he says. “It would be much easier to pass one next year.”
