Indiana’s Senate passed Senate Bill 199 with near‑unanimous support after legislators inserted a provision that would eliminate public college degrees classified as “low‑earning” — measured by post‑graduation earnings relative to high‑school peers. The provision, buried in a broader technical education bill and not highlighted in the bill digest, could force campuses to cut degree programs and reshape program portfolios statewide. Lawmakers and higher‑education leaders warn the measure risks narrowing curricular diversity, disadvantaging fields with public‑service value, and repeating last session’s abrupt program cuts that prompted significant campus disruption.
