我们为什么要庆祝?
The 全国第一代大学生庆典 commemorates the signing of the 高等教育法. The 高等教育法 was signed by 总统 Lyndon B. 约翰逊 1965年11月8日. The purpose of the 高等教育法 was to strengthen the educational resources of our colleges and universities and to provide financial assistance to students in postsecondary and higher education. 这项立法使许多人能够 attend college who would not otherwise have had the chance. 它涵盖了许多领域, including the provision of federal resources for continuing education, community service programs, and stronger library programs and library instruction. 此外, law supported cooperative arrangements between colleges and universities and the establishment of a National Teacher Corps to attract teachers to underserved institutions. 最 far-reaching component was the reduction of financial barriers to attending college. 1965 marked the beginning of a coordinated federal effort to address the issue of financial aid for all students with the establishment of low-interest federal student 贷款. A subsequent reauthorization of the Act in 1972 led to the creation of the Pell Grant program, which provides need-based grants for students at middle- and lower-income 水平. The 高等教育法 undergoes reauthorization through the Federal Negotiated 规则制定法程序. Negotiated Rulemaking is the process Federal Agencies use when there are proposed changes to administrative regulations. 政府机构 and affected interest groups gather to comment and negotiate terms of these changes. The 高等教育法 has been reauthorized 9 times: 1968, 1972, 1980, 1986, 1992, 1998, 2008, 2020, 2022.
