      "title": "The Impact Of Mobilization On Student Reservists",
      "summary": "The ongoing mobilization of reservists in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and Noble\nEagle\n(OEF/ONE), has been the largest reserve call-up since the Persian Gulf War. Most of these\nreservists held civilian jobs prior to mobilization and, as such, are entitled to certain legal protections\nunder the Uniformed Servicemembers Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA; 38\nU.S.C.  4301-4333). However, a substantial number of reservists today are students at institutions\nof higher education, either on a full-time or part-time basis. Their academic status is not covered by\nUSERRA, or any similar federal law (although it is covered under the laws of some states).\n  Some of these students have reported that their academic status has been harmed by\nmobilization and have advocated legal protections similar to those enjoyed by employees. This\nreport provides information on the types of problems encountered by student reservists, the scope\nof those problems, the remedies available to student reservists who experience difficulties related\nto mobilization, and an assessment of the effectiveness of these remedies. It also provides several\nalternative options for assisting student reservists which Congress may wish to consider. This report\nwill be updated as needed.",
