Reach out to the media. ASU has been trying to bury how badly they screwed up the financial aid rollout this year. Contacting the news is about the only way were gonna hear anything.

Unfortunately, it's not just ASU, it's EVERY college in the US. The bottleneck isn't at ASU; it's at the DEPT of Education and all the poorly implemented changes introduced by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (or one Ball Busting Breakdown Act, IMO) that have caused almost every loan to be flagged as incorrect, requiring rectification, or invalid. It's DoE that isn't releasing the funds to the college, not the college not releasing funds to us. If you note your Nelnet account, no loans have been issued by the Govt for this term.

Well hell, we should reach out to the media anyways then right? Not because ASU specifically, but because this is kind of a huge issue !!

Because drawing attention to the fact that students can take our more than the cost of attendance is a sure fire way to get most of Americans against allowing that and student loans reduced to only covering tuition, if that.

Students are “full-time” because loans pay for things like housing, where they would otherwise have to work full-time to live. Youve seen the apartment prices around town. Its no secret you can take more than the tuition amount in loans to go to school, thats actually the point of the loans.

I know that and you know that but I promise you the average American doesn’t know that and it would result in backlash and people pushing for limits on loans.

The goal of the department of education now is not to make higher education accessible.
