Veterans should use GI Bill® for any education they choose (Tennessean, Tennessee)

In an opinion piece written for Tennessean (local paper in Tennessee), Navy Veteran and VCE Ambassador James Lillback wrote about how his service and educational journey lead him to a career school. In the oped, James voices his displeasure with lawmakers push to limit his and other veterans school choice at career schools, like Fortis Institute in Cookeville, Tennessee. James writes:
​
“I am disappointed to learn that some politicians want to limit the ability of veterans to use their earned GI Bill® at career schools like the one I attended. Politicians must understand that not every veteran wants to attend a public university. In fact, many of us—including myself—found the traditional college experience to be a bad fit.”

James reiterated his conviction on the matter and urged congressional leaders to take up that fight as well:

“I will not stand by quietly while some politicians seek to restrict the right of veterans to use their earned GI Bill® at the school of their choice.”
