handle is hein.gao/gaobabcsc0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLI ER GENERAL Report To The Chairman, Committee On Labor And Human Resources United States Senate OF THE UNITED STATES Students Receiving Federal Aid Are No: Making Satisfactory Academic Progresm: Tougher Standards Are Needed The Federal Government provides billions of doll rs in student aid each year under pro- gra ns administered by the Department of Ed- ucation, the Veterans Administration, and the Social Security Administration. These agen- cies have widely varying policies regarding sat- isfactory academic progress of students receiv- ing assistance. In r viewing the academic progress standards applied to students at 20 institutions of high- er e( ucation, GAO found that these standards were often inadequate and not always en- for id. Although each of the schools had es- tabli hed standards, they were often poor meai urements of academic progress. Some scho )Is had not enforced the standards they had Bstablished, resulting in overpayments of more than $1.2 million in Department of Ed- ucat on programs. Mor stringent Federal requirements would allev ate many of the problems resulting from poor academic progress by students receiving aid. 00 U. 116994 */C'Cour HRD-82-15 DECE f1BER 3. 1981
