The public has a substantial interest in understanding the failures of the FAFSA rework and ensuring accountability in the Department of Education’s operations. These issues directly affect students and families nationwide, who rely on timely and accurate provision of financial aid applications to make informed decisions about their education. Moreover, Congress must be able to conduct effective oversight, ensuring that federal agencies adhere to their mandates and operate transparently. Keeping the public informed about the progress and challenges of the New FAFSA rollout is crucial for maintaining trust in the education system and ensuring that similar issues are addressed promptly. The recent issuance of subpoenas by Congress underscores the need for greater transparency and responsiveness from the Department to address these critical concerns.
