"As the old adage goes, 'If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.' Unfortunately, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) system, which has enabled many to access higher education, has been broken for far too long — and the most recent attempts to fix it have failed more spectacularly than Wake Forest’s attempts to make the NCAA tournament," Old Gold & Black writes.

... "The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators came out with a statement noting how significant delays in aid package delivery will hurt students who need aid the most when deciding where to attend college, as they will likely be missing critical information on the true cost of their degree."
