--The "receipt of financial aid" is not a protected classification under Federal or state civil rights laws.--  

I realize receiving financial aid isn't a protected status.  But what about people who have disabilities who have received financial aid or who have borrowed money, only to fail because of an undiagnosed disability?

  Hello,

  I am posting the following response on behalf of Idris Muhammad.

  I do not believe it is a civil rights violation to omit screening anyone receiving college Federal Financial Aid, particularly, including those students who have failed in a higher education system.  The "receipt of financial aid" is not a protected classification under Federal or state civil rights laws.
