Since the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) was signed into law in February 2009, Ed Money Watch has been closely following the legislation with extensive coverage of guidance, spending, accountability, and obstacles surrounding the ARRA.

The Federal Education Budget Project released a series of three papers examining the use of State Fiscal Stabilization Funds for higher education. They are available here, here, and here. FEBP also held an event examining the future of public higher ed funding post-stimulus.

Recently, the Hoover Institution at Stanford University published an essay that features Ed Money Watch ARRA research. The essay is available here.
