The credit-rating agency Moody’s downgraded the outlook of the higher education sector from stable to negative, reports the Chronicle of Higher Education. Moody’s cites the industry’s inability to lower tuition rates and uncertainty around potential federal policy and tax reform changes, which could have an impact on “enrollment and tuition-revenue growth, philanthropic support and the cost of borrowing.” Moody’s assigned a negative rating to the sector in 2013, but amended it to stable two years later in anticipation that states would increase funding and revenue would grow at four-year institutions.
