90/10 Senate Bill Seeks to Restrict Choice for Veterans

11/14/2019

 
Today, Senators Carper, Tester, Lankford, and Cassidy introduced a bill to modify the 90/10 rule that will ultimately restrict choice for veterans at quality private career, technical and trade schools. 

Michael Dakduk, Marine Corps Veteran and Co-Chair of Veterans for Career Education, said the following on the bill:

​Manipulating the 90/10 rule to include military and veteran benefits on the 90 side is a way to restrict choice for veterans at career, tech and trade schools. It is no coincidence that proposals to change the 90/10 rule do not extend to public colleges and universities. 

We do, however, appreciate the recognition from Senators Carper and Lankford that there are good private career, tech and trade schools. We also acknowledge the effort made by the senators not immediately to restrict choice for veterans at career schools. But make no mistake: This bill still restricts choice for veterans. It simply does it more slowly and gradually. 

We look forward to working with Congress to hold all schools accountable, regardless of tax status, and to support veterans' choice at private career, technical and trade schools. 

This bill, as currently written, runs counter to the mission of VCE. We are opposed.
