Student Aide Loss
Falling Through the Cracks: Loss of State-Based Financial Aid Eligibility for Students Affected by the Federal Higher Education Act Drug Provision," published under the auspices of the Coalition for Higher Education Act Reform (CHEAR), a group DRCNet founded and has coordinated since April 1999.

"Falling Through the Cracks" comes out at the same time as Congress approves a rare rollback of a federal drug law, the restricting of the HEA drug provision to people who were already in school at the time they commited their offenses, as we reported in Drug War Chronicle. The report shines a light on a previously unreported consequence of the federal Higher Education Act drug provision, the loss of state financial aid as well to students losing federal aid because of drug convictions even though the legislatures of their states have never voted on that policy.
