But it shows a certain failure to deal with basic administrative responsibilities that may or may not be indicative of other shortcomings.
Take the information or leave it. I’m certainly not advocating that it should be a major consideration in your school selection process.
Why would you assume it’s an administrative failure on the part of the school and not the DC Department of Tax and Revenue.
Because they would have to receive many notices and correspondence related to the underdeposited tax and/or penalties before DC filed a lien. It usually happens over the course of months and more often years of them trying to contact the taxpayer with no response. It may be a very minor underlying matter, but they need to have better administrative safeguards if it got to this point without resolution.
