Federal Policy Shifts and Financial Sustainability Risks in Higher Education 

Featured Speaker:

• Hayley Hanson, Husch Blackwell
• Chuck Ambrose, Husch Blackwell

Topic: Join CACUBO for a webinar featuring Husch Blackwell and Husch Blackwell Consulting’s analysis of the impact of federal policy and the Trump Administration’s approach on higher education—paired with a focused discussion of the resulting financial pressures and potential threats to institutional financial sustainability. Leaders will gain a clear view of how policy changes may affect revenue, compliance, and financial planning, and what to watch as institutions prepare for FY 2027 and risk mitigation strategies for the year ahead.

Topics include:

• Potential changes to federal student aid, including eligibility, loan eligibility administration, and compliance expectations
• Pell Grant funding dynamics and the implications of potential Pell shortfalls for enrollment, affordability, and institutional aid strategy
• Shifts in federal oversight and proposed changes to accreditation and accountability
• Downstream cost impacts (reporting, audit, regulatory burden) and scenarios that could strain operating margins and liquidity
• The tools and strategies to both assess and improve operational performance
• Practical takeaways for leaders to support financial resilience and story-telling – required to mobilize a campus wide response to creating the future.
