The American Council on Education and the undersigned higher education associations, write to Chairman Camp regarding your recently released discussion draft of the Tax Reform Act of 2014. We commend you for your leadership on an issue as important as tax reform. Reforming the tax code is a critical element to addressing our nation’s longterm fiscal health. There are a number of provisions in your discussion draft that would affect students and families, as well as the colleges and universities that serve them. We write now to comment on the education incentives addressed in your discussion draft. In the near future, we will offer additional comments on other provisions affecting higher education.
