This is on top of 100 billion dollars taxpayers are already responsible for due to continuation of the student loan repayment pause.

As is often the case, more money is not the answer and does not address the underlying problems facing HBCUs.

We must encourage all institutions of higher education, including HBCUs, to become more self-reliant.

Taxpayer dollars are not--are meant to improve students' educational outcomes and experiences, not the salaries of additional staff and administrators.

Historically Black colleges are an important and critical landscape to that of higher education.

It's critical that we do this despite my colleague's focus sometimes on a limited set of defunct proprietary claims.

Burdening taxpayers further with other people's debt should be our last resort.

The entire burden of the student's debt on hard-working taxpayers, a significant number of which never went to college.

Everything is not free when faced with adverse circumstances.

We must resist these efforts if we are ever to get our Nation's financial house in order.

This policy is simply reckless and financially, honestly, absurd.

When a college class closes thousands of students are thrown off their academic paths, some permanently.

Instead, the answer is to pour more money into a system that honestly is broken, and has been failing our students, and saddling them with tremendous debt.

I think that everybody agrees that Pell Grants have been an extraordinary and powerful tool in helping low-income students across this Nation access a post-secondary education.

We want to support our students. We want to give them every single one, regardless of socioeconomic status, a chance for opportunity for growth.

I've been very vocal about administrative bloat.

Institutions with poor Pell Grant completion rates should be held accountable.

A Pell Grant should not be allowed so often to be a ticket to nowhere.

We must fix a broken system, not by throwing more money at it, but demanding financial accountability by higher educational systems.

Pumping additional dollars into the Pell Grant problem will not solve the serious underlying issues plaguing the higher education sector.

The Pell Grant program is the cornerstone of Federal student aid.

We can't have everything always given to us, and I knew I just had to work extra hours despite being in a pre-medical program.

I truly understand the difficulties of the burdens that we're now placing upon students in overwhelming debt.

Sadly, the truth is that colleges and universities, not the students, are the major beneficiaries of the Pell Grant program.

Congress created a very generous Federal student aid system.
