Universities still waiting for promised emergency aid for students

WASHINGTON — Colleges and universities across the U.S. are still waiting for most of the $6.3 billion set aside by Congress to help students struggling to pay for food, housing and child care during the coronavirus pandemic.

And a decision by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos this week to prohibit "Dreamers" and most other foreign nationals from accessing the funds has heightened concerns about the welfare of some of the most economically vulnerable students, university officials said.

Nearly a month after President Donald Trump signed the economic relief package into law, just 1 in 10 schools that applied for funds for their students have been approved, figures provided by the Education Department show.

As of Wednesday, only $750 million if the $6.4 billion had been awarded, although the department said that number was growing quickly.

Probably going to pay the cosplayers with assault rifles and Confederate flags.

1. Perhaps they should dip into their deep endowments

Harvard is one of many that took money but shouldn’t have.

2. I believe Harvard as given theirs back.

I agree those with large endowments don't need help. All universities do not fall into that category however.

3. I wish. They said they won't.
