Mandate ties drug offenses to college aid policy debate
Kansas college leaders critique a federal mandate linking drug offenses to financial aid.

Some call for a national cross‑reference database, others for careful implementation to avoid hardship. Rep Mark Souder promotes accountability for taxpayer aid recipients.
