Opposition is growing on college campuses to a provision of the Higher Education Act that withholds federal financial aid from students convicted of selling or possessing drugs. 
While Congress passed the provision in the fall to send a message to young drug users, opponents say it denies money to troubled students when they need it most to turn their lives around, it fails to address drug intervention and education, and it ignores other types of criminal behavior.Many college students are becoming aware of the provision but worry about its ramifications.It seems that youthful indiscretion isn't allowed anymore?
