Manipulating the 90/10 Rule to Eliminate a Veteran’s Right to Attend Career Colleges

6/13/2019

 
Opponents of taxpaying (for-profit) career colleges believe that manipulating the 90/10 rule to include military and veteran education benefits, like the Post-9/11 GI Bill®, in the 90 side of the rule protects veterans from being “targeted” or from attending “low-quality institutions.” This couldn’t be farther from the truth.
The notion that veterans are victims of aggressive or misleading recruiting is an insult to veterans. In fact, a 2010 study showed that, “Contrary to the prevailing image of veterans as undiscerning consumers of higher education, the veterans, Reservists, active duty service members, and family members with whom we spoke described thoughtful deliberations about their choice of institutions.”
​
According to the study, the top reasons veterans chose to attend taxpaying career colleges:
  1. Tuition was covered by the GI Bill®
  2. The schools had adult-oriented, career-focused programs with flexible schedules
  3. The ability for veterans to transfer military experience to academic credits
