Stimulus Package: R U Shovel Ready?

What do you need to know about the stimulus package and its impact on higher ed? SCUP assembled a group of experts who have been closely following the stimulus package to discuss it in a "virtual conversation" on February 4. Topics included: 

  • how the legislation will impact capital planning and projects planning (Judy Marks, National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities),
  • sustainability and the environment (Jim Elder, Campaign for Environmental Literacy), and
  • the non-facilities dollars and other changes that will be a boost for things like the Pell Grant and student assistance (Doug Lederman, Inside Higher Ed).

While the audio conversation is only available to paid participants, SCUP has created a web community including background and updates that anyone can access for free by registering here.
