Tightening 🇺🇸 United States

The United States bars students with drug convictions from federal aid

The 1998 amendments to the Higher Education Act added a provision that keeps students with drug convictions from receiving federal aid for college, and the federal aid form gained a question about such convictions. A federal appeals court later upheld the rule against a constitutional challenge.[1]
