"Colleges continue to see disruptions in the federal-aid process months after major staff cuts at the U.S. Department of Education, and the impacts on students appear to be intensifying," The Chronicle of Higher Education reports. 

"Those findings come from a new survey released on Wednesday by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, known as NASFAA. More than 500 financial-aid officers at colleges nationwide completed the survey, which was conducted in July. The results suggest that the backbone of the financial-aid process has been weakened — and some students’ access to federal funds they need for college could be at risk."
