Biden administration told public universities last year that they could begin using work-study funds — which are used to provide part-time campus jobs to help students with tuition costs — to pay students to “support voter registration activities.” While the Higher Education Act of 1965 requires colleges to “make a good faith effort” to make mail voter registration forms “widely available” to students, having taxpayers fund get-out-the-vote activities in this way had previously not been allowed.
