Jay-

You can attribute the following statement to the U.S. Department of Education:

“Under the regulations governing the federal student aid programs, an institution loses its eligibility for those programs if that institution ceases to provide educational programs for a reason other than a scheduled vacation period or a natural disaster. Because the strike by students attending the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) forced the institution to close for several weeks, UPR lost federal student aid eligibility.

Students attending UPR for the 2009-2010 academic year have already received aid for that term and were not affected by this issue. Because there are no classes scheduled for the summer term, there is sufficient time for UPR to reapply for eligibility.

The Department of Education is working closely with UPR officials to help them reapply for eligibility to receive federal student aid. Upon receipt of the required documentation from the school, we will work as quickly as possible to reinstate UPR. If UPR provides all the required materials in a timely manner, the Department of Education anticipates that no students should lose federal student aid as a result of this issue.”

Obviamente, como siempre sucede, buscar partir la soga por el lado más fino. Hay tiempo para restituir a la UPR dentro de las ayudas federales, pero la agenda es otra. No van a querer hacerlo, ya que el propósito es adjudicarle la culpa al estudiantado por dicha pérdida para, luego, ponerlos en la encrucijada de hacerlos irse para otra universidad cosa de que sigan recibiendo becas, y así, finalmente, justificar el que se haga una APP entre la UPR y Pepe Méndez.

¿Quién necesita los medios? Con su sección en internet de la furia y este tipo de investigación jay sigue siendo tan o más efectivo que antes cuando estaba en la radio. Buen trabajo Jay.

Adelante y éxito.
