The Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance released a report on Tuesday highlighting input from a recent hearing on the challenges nontraditional students face, best practices from states and colleges, and ideas of how the federal government could help, particularly by improving data collection and financial aid.

    Another report that says the same thing again and again.  I was a doctoral student when Pat Cross’s book came out in 1981 and all of the other associated literature.  We need to serve adult students better, we need focused student services, we need etc, etc and yet we still talk about it as if it is new news. AHHHHHH!
    Goodness couldn’t someone report on the changes that have been made and to find the best practices that do exist so we do not see report after report about things that have been known and discussed for 25+ years.
