Higher Education Policy
at Vanderbilt

Vanderbilt’s Office of Federal Relations advocates on a wide range of policy and appropriations-related higher education issues, including accreditation, graduate and postdoctoral education, international programs, student aid, intellectual property, peer-to-peer filesharing, and other policies included in the Higher Education Act. The office also advocates for funding increases for federal student aid and other higher education programs. Legislation pertaining to these issues has a direct impact on students’ financial aid, accessibility, and daily life on Vanderbilt’s campus.
