"Roughly 200,000 of the 1.5 million federal student aid records sent to schools now need to be reprocessed by the Education Department," POLITICO reports.

... "'This is another unforced error that will likely cause more processing delays for students,'  Justin Draeger, the president of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, said in a statement Friday. 'Schools will work in good faith with our federal colleagues to get information to students as soon as possible, but let’s not make any mistake — schools can only work with valid and correct data that is provided to them from the U.S. Department of Education.'"
