📣 Submit Course Proposals by February 4! 📣⁠
⁠
Issued by Columbia University’s Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture (@buellcenter) and ACSA, the 2026 Course Development Prize seeks proposals on the theme of “Architecture, Climate Change, and Society.”⁠
⁠
Successful proposals will include methods and themes that innovate within their institutional setting—asking hard questions of students that are equal in weight to the hard questions being asked of society as it continues to grapple with the intertwined causes and effects of climate change.⁠

Graduate students in architecture at U.S. universities face limits on the amount of federal student loans they can access as a result of proposed policy changes related to the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is in the process of classifying which degrees are eligible to access a higher level of federal student loans. The ED will draft a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and open it for public comment before issuing final rules in 2026.⁠
⁠
ACSA will respond and urges all educators to comment on this proposed rule once available. Read the full statement at the #LinkInBio. ⁠
⁠
ACSA will announce a member Zoom in early January to discuss a coordinated response to the proposed rule. ⁠

“This proposal by the Department of Education stifles opportunities for architectural education; importantly, it also risks our collective public interest. ACSA will advocate for a more considered approach to the needs of the public and reaffirm the importance of professional programs in architecture and design.”⁠
⁠
In a recent article in The Architect’s Newspaper (@archpaper), ACSA president José Gámez responds to the Department of Education’s proposed exclusion of architecture from its list of professional degrees. Read his full statement at our #LinkInBio.⁠
