AAU President Barbara R. Snyder shared AAU's “Recommendations to 2020 Presidential Candidates” with candidates at the first presidential debate hosted by Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Clinic. These key policy recommendations range from federal student aid, funding for scientific research at government agencies, immigration reform for international students, and more. It is critical that the administration consider these recommendations to help propel our nation forward and safeguard our position as the world’s educational, technological, and economic leader. AAU remains committed to working with the administration to develop and implement policies to address national challenges and advance our country’s economic competitiveness and national security.
