If a college is found in violation of hiring laws or fails to use E-Verify, the entire school loses access to federal student aid programs, meaning current students at that school could suddenly lose grants and loans that pay for their tuition. This punishes students financially for their school's employment compliance failures, even though students have no control over hiring decisions.
