This week on a special episode of "Off The Cuff," Allie kicks things off with a brief recap of some big higher education news from the past week, including public hearings ahead of new negotiated rulemaking sessions. Justin then introduces our special guests — Brenda Hicks, Christina Tangalakis, and Francisco Valines — who provided insight into their experiences with Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) grants and emergency aid. Our guests then share how their institutions' financial aid offices have disbursed funding, addressed “exceptional need,” DACA eligibility, professional judgments, and more!
