Happy Fourth of July from Higher Ed Watch

In honor of the Fourth of July holiday, Higher Ed Watch is taking the week off. It’s time to recharge our batteries as we gear up for the summer months ahead.

We hope all of our readers enjoy a relaxing long weekend full of barbecues and fireworks. Student loan borrowers—don’t forget about the interest rate and loan limit changes going into effect today.

And Congress, we look forward to a reauthorized Higher Education Act. Any day now, right?
