Definition

  • The Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), Public Law 89–329, was initiated and passed as a part of President Lyndon Johnson's ambitious social policy programs, which were known as the “Great Society.” The many subsequent reauthorizations and various amendments of the HEA have continued to provide means for greater access to higher education. This entry discusses the most noteworthy sections of original law and of the legislative changes chronologically. [Source: Encyclopedia of Law and Higher Education; Higher Education Act]
