Obama Implements GI Bill Protections
President Obama recently
signed an executive order that will require
institutions of higher learning to provide information about dropout
rates and opportunities for financial aid as well as protections for
active duty personnel, veterans and their family members from unethical
recruiting practices. There has been growing concern on Capitol Hill
that some for-profit schools had been overcharging and misleading
veterans and service members on the benefits of their educational
curriculum. The executive order creates a complaint system for military
and veterans receiving educational benefits and a mechanism to refer the
complaints to the appropriate government agency to investigate any
complaints (“Know Before you Owe”). For more information on
