"As more and more students are filing for publicly-funded financial aid, the Department of Education is struggling to meet demand while staying on track to meet previous years’ administrative deadlines," Campus Reform reports.

..."Beth Maglione, the interim president of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, voiced support for the delay, emphasizing the importance of ensuring a smooth application in the wake of last year’s failures.

'The fact that we are still, to this day, dealing with the aftershocks of this year’s FAFSA rollout shows just how imperative it is that the process is thoroughly tested from end to end and launched as a system, not in a piecemeal manner,' she said."
