AT A RECENT drug legalization rally at the University of California at Los Angeles, defiant students smoked joints on the grass. Meanwhile, sober administrators circulated yellow flyers warning that drug convictions are grounds for denial of federal financial aid.
Not if activist students have their way. The law in question--an amendment to the Higher Education Act of 1998 that took effect in July 2000--is under grassroots attack on campuses across America. Aside from raising awareness and lobbying Congress to strike down the provision, a handful of activists have also convinced their schools to set aside money in case a prospective student is denied aid under the provision.
