"Republicans and Democrats in Washington can agree on at least one thing lately: the Biden administration’s handling of college financial aid this year has been a mess," USA Today reports.

..."College financial aid experts criticized the Education Department during the hearing on Capitol Hill for dressing up the repeated delays and mistakes in 'celebratory publicity' in the agency's communications with schools. Some officials implied there was a need for accountability at the highest levels of the Education Department.

'If there was a financial aid director, or even a college president, that delayed financial aid on their campus for up to six months, the professional price that would be paid for that would be pretty steep,' said Justin Draeger, the president of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators."
