@JonBoeckenstedt I guess even Case Western wants out of Ohio

I bet you'd be surprised to learn that all of these institutions are on the list of college closings some journalists are using as we talk about the state of higher education today.

@evolve Also important to note that graduation rates are not the end all be all... many times schools with lower graduation rates are serving disadvantaged student populations. Some are predatory (such as for-profits), but some still do great work and help raise up these student groups

when you try to be thought provoking but use the wrong St Thomas and pull off the first thing on google as your data LOL use College Scorecard if you want data, and pay attention before you try to bring negative attention to programs that are investing in the space. odd behavior

@erichoov So February?

News: Ed. Dept. will release 2025-26 #FAFSA "for testing with a limited set of students and institutions" on Oct. 1. Application will be available to all, w "full functionality, including submission and back-end processing," on or before Dec. 1. ed.gov/news/press-rel…

@sarayelich Also FA admins get to "Resend Records to Match" in the FAA Information section of the FSA Partner Portal if they aren't sure. They just do that and don't change anything else then cross their fingers it comes back clear.

@Woodbuck Thank you! We'll give it a shot! Dumb question - is this related to the new FAFSA? Or something that would've been an issue no matter what?

Anyone out there in the depths of the internet know anything about students' financial aid getting delayed by "secondary confirmation" from DHS? I have another student who is still waiting on an FA package because of it and "wait" is a terrible option on August 5.

@sarayelich From what I understand, not directly... some sort of contractual issue with DHS... but I am sure indirectly delayed longer than it should ever be since corrections in general are all sorts of screwed up

@NateSilver538 Does this include the PA Susquehanna poll released an hour ago?

@nilslice need venn diagram to understand the answer

"What can be, unburdened by what has been?" This question comes up ALL THE TIME with regard to running untrusted 3rd party code in your app... Well, here is your answer... join us on Thursday! 📅👇

@jselingo A lot of schools are going to be in the same boat after this cycle… it will depend on how transparent some schools are though to know if they are doing the same measures. I think the biggest factor is the fafsa debacle though and the downstream effect.

1/2 This is surprising...

@Cuse_Esports Congrats!

✍WELCOME TO SYRACUSE✍ In a program first, Syracuse Esports has signed Gabriel "Gababy" Goodwin of Wheaton High School!

My story: How #FAFSA delays, errors, and just-discovered data discrepancies are making it hard for financial-aid officers to do their jobs. tinyurl.com/4t3sw3u5

@erichoov Also they won’t start reprocessing the incorrect files until after that… so SAIs will remain incorrect until at least mid to late April

🚨News: Ed. Dept. says students can't make updates + corrections to their #FAFSA until "the first half of April." On March 4, the department said applicants would be able to make those changes "later in March." tinyurl.com/2uu6hxsp

I hope this major tournament upset for this small school in New Haven, CT gives them a little bit of media focus that they usually lack and they see a small bump in their applicants

@JonBoeckenstedt @sklevenson There’s issues with education credits not coming thru at correct amount, pulling the wrong 1040 line for parent federal taxes, and no amended tax data coming through as it is supposed to… and yeah no way to check w/o ISIRs loaded and taxes/Profile. Maybe if we coulda tested

@sklevenson How does s/he check that?

So, your ISIRs are wrong, but go ahead and do a hand calc, MKay?

Leave me in peace @Doublelift1! lol I completely agree with the story tho. Knew it was painful right when it happened and still cringe. Like Jeb Bush "Please clap". Was bad. 2nd story was not my drill! Strat coach was abroad still and he told me do that...youtube.com/watch?v=vE8EyG…

@bresreports Better than Luka Doncic! (5-26 tonight)

Virginia is 5-25 from the field. I can shoot better than that

@AcssCollege @AAPD @FAFSA I think this Dear Colleague Letter has a more definitive answer for you: fsapartners.ed.gov/knowledge-cent…

@sarayelich @Erin_Alexa_ It’s a known issue right now. fsapartners.ed.gov/knowledge-cent…

@Erin_Alexa_ Speaking of FAFSA: have you done it w/ a student who is filling it out for parents without SSNs? Someone I'm working with can't get past the name/DOB/SSN page on the parent's part and I don't know if it's a FAFSA glitch or something I'm missing. Thought I'd ask you before I dug!

Successfully helped a student complete the 24/25 FAFSA for the first time today (they're independent so it was a simpler one).

@JacobWolf I usually do this domyown.com/q4-plus-turf-h… A 2nd application in a few weeks and then if still persists you can follow up with tenacity: domyown.com/tenacity-herbi… Need a sprayer, blue dye, nitrile gloves, rubber boots, and surfactant. But yeah can be a lot of work + $$…

@Woodbuck I have a cheap hand one and it works well enough! Just annoying cause no weed killer works against this shit

My yard is fighting for its life out here against these damn weeds.
