Brooklyn College Financial Aid Abyss
Day 99 in an abyss of uncaring incompetence: Parent Plus Student loan application of 5/9/11 for Summer 2011 remains unprocessed. It's for my daughter's living expenses for the Summer Term now ending. (Before it's taken BC 2 weeks.) On 8/1, was told by Marcus J. Richardson, of the Brooklyn College Office of Financial Aid, that my application now would not be processed until an internal computer problem was fixed, that man who fixes these things is at the City University of New York, is on vacation and would get to when he returned, in keeping with his own priorities.
A student in the same straits as my daughter whose parents lacked access to ruinous high-interest, short-term installment loans would have had to have returned home, a dropout. (Imagine the devastating effect on the child.)
This is my daughter's final semester before graduating and with fine grades for which she's worked very hard. For months Brooklyn College couldn't process the loan; now they're refusing to process it because they can't process it. (I'd appreciate the Kafkaesque quality more if I weren't servicing thousands in credit card advances.)
My yellowing application is for the same unsubsidized Federal higher education loan program I've used without mishap during my daughter's years at Brooklyn College. The U.S. Department of Education's Financial Student Aid Ombudsman is involved; perhaps she and her staff can serve as catalyst of competency for Brooklyn College's Financial Aid Department.
