TL;DR

Former top student loan official Wayne Johnson accuses the U.S. Department of Education of "malicious negligence" in handling ongoing technical issues with the new Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The problems with the form have led to fewer students applying for financial aid, causing concerns about college affordability and enrollment. The Education Department is facing criticism and calls for federal inquiry, as delays in resolving the issues could have disastrous consequences for students and schools.
