Republican lawmakers, led by Virginia Foxx and Senator Bill Cassidy, are calling for a GAO investigation into the Department of Education's botched rollout of the new FAFSA program. The legislators, including 26 others, argue that the Education Department's mismanagement has caused significant stress for students and families trying to figure out college affordability. Despite having over three years to prepare, the department is accused of neglecting essential tasks mandated by law.
Despite having 3 years to prepare, the Biden Admin botched the rollout the new federal student aid application, putting some students at risk of giving up & not pursuing a college education. We want a GAO investigation of this latest blunder. @SenBillCassidy Read our letter:
Despite having 3 years to plan, the Biden admin’s botched rollout of the new federal student aid application has created financial uncertainty for Iowa families. I’m demanding an investigation of this embarrassing rollout and the impact it will have on students and schools👇 https://t.co/zjEOVnWNYJ
The Biden admin's incompetence in implementing the new FAFSA program is unacceptable. Students deserve a functional FAFSA system, & we're calling for an immediate investigation to identify the root cause of these delays, assess the impact on students, & prevent future failures. https://t.co/4MDJCQhPuD

.@usedgov's botched FAFSA rollout is causing a lot of stress for students trying to find out what schools they can afford. The admin had 3+ yrs to prepare but prioritized their student loan schemes over basic tasks mandated by law & essential for students. https://t.co/lpSPOVqOMH

I’m disappointed in the @MTA’s decision to omit local labor requirements in the first 2nd Ave. Subway Phase II contract. This omission misaligns with the Biden Administration’s commitment to deliver social equity through capital projects, and needs to be corrected swiftly.
