Regulating financial aid institutions by Natalie Adona, Mar 5, 2008 (4:49pm)

Proponents of this bill view the changes made regarding financial aid and university tuitions as a good compromise for the moment to bring necessary attention back to the needs of education and also to eliminate corruption within the financial aid industry. Although the bill passed unanimously some experts, such as Barmak Nassirian of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, are concerned about certain measures of the bill that may be harmful for students who need help with repaying loans.
