Summary: On March 20, 2020, PAEA submitted a letter to the bipartisan leadership of the Senate and the House of Representatives to request emergency relief for PA programs, faculty, and students impacted by COVID-19. In the letter, PAEA urged congressional leadership to provide substantial resources for the purchase of personal protective equipment, extend funding for key Title VII programs, and limit out-of-pocket expenses for students through improved borrowing terms and flexibility in the administration of federal aid.
