Short Memories Lead to Long-Term Consequences

The collapse of good labor market opportunities for workers without a college degree is the elephant in the room in higher education policy discussions today. A high school diploma no longer provides a guarantee of financial security, let alone opens the door to the middle class.

This report examines the legislative and regulatory history of short-term programs under federal higher education law. The lessons from those earlier reforms can help guide policymakers in their current efforts to address the educational needs of Americans.
