Support
3/31/00
Over the past ten days, the
campaign to repeal the drug provision of the Higher Education Act has gained
the support of student governments at Yale University, University of Texas
at Austin and Douglas College at Rutgers University as well as by the Association
of Big Ten Schools. The drug provision, which denies or delays financial
aid eligibility to any student for any drug conviction, goes into effect
this year.
At Yale, the student association
not only called for repeal, but also urged the school's administration
to make up for any financial aid lost to the new law.
A more complete update on
the HEA campaign will appear in The Week Online next week.
