Since Mr. McKeon began discussing his ideas for price controls , our office has been coordinating efforts to educate members of the Pennsylvania Delegation about our concerns with this proposal . The law school page is effective in showing dynamically changing photos of law students in casual or legal settings . Congressman McKeon , who was a member of the committee when the Commission issued its report , has revived the discussion and issued his own report along with committee chairman , Congressman John Boehner from Ohio . Federal price controls could seriously impinge upon a university ’ s ability to provide a quality education in the face of declining State financial support and legitimate cost increases . Congressman Buck McKeon from California serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Twenty-First Century Competitiveness , which is the committee responsible for higher education issues . Retaliation against any person who files a complaint of discrimination , participates in an investigation , or reasonably opposes a discriminatory employment or educational practice or policy is prohibited under University policy , and by state and federal law . You ’ ll recall that we completed a major study two years ago , the Report of the Tuition Task Force . At the same time , the Congressional committees have held numerous hearings on the individual issues contained in the Act. Legislative action on these issues was initiated earlier this fall in the House of Representatives . You ’ ll recall that our budget plan and state appropriation request for 2004-05 included a preliminary target of $ 2.5 million in cost reductions and income enhancements . Together , these organizations developed a very detailed and specific list of recommendations for the Reauthorization that were submitted to the Department of Education and the House and Senate Congressional Committees with oversight responsibility for the Act. This report , entitled “ The College Cost Crisis , ” came after Mr. McKeon had made it known that he was determined to find a way for the federal government to intervene and control college costs . I will use the action in the House as the basis for my discussion today since the Senate does not plan to introduce legislation until next year . The University posts products and volumes that we need , and vendors electronically bid to provide the product at the lowest price . In addition , there are reports from Wall Street that such efforts at price controls could adversely affect university bond ratings , further hampering our ability to acquire capital at most favorable rates . Think of a big eBay arrangement where the lowest price wins . We also have increases in the budgets for Penn College and the Dickinson School of Law .
