FAFSA Fiasco 2.0?
"Last month we shared a FAFSA timeline and argued that the Department of Education (ED) problems with the launch of the new simplified FAFSA started much earlier than this year’s media firestorm," On EdTech writes.
... "One such observer, Karen McCarthy (vice president of public policy and federal relations at the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators), stated her concern at a panel hosted by the American Enterprise Institute."
"'We are so late, we're already well into what would normally be the development cycle for 2025-26,' McCarthy said. 'I fear that some of the smaller issues that are troublesome, but not showstoppers, might not end up getting resolved for 2025-26, just because they now have such a shorter runway.'"
