Title 38 of the United States Code codifies all veteran education programs and can be colloquially referred to as the \u201cGI Bill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the bill would require CSAAVE to establish regulations requiring postsecondary educational institutions to provide information such as: (i) the institution\u2019s loan default rate; (ii) evidence that the institution meets financial responsibility requirements; (iii) evidence of the institution\u2019s accreditation status; (iv) if lawsuits from students, former students, or public prosecutors have been filed against the institution on charges such as fraud within five years of the application; and (v) information regarding student\u2019s success rates during and after their programs.<\/p>\n<p>According to the author\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1aHkR-w91WrKH9WF3KcB3S_u2dtaLknUm\/view?usp=sharing\">legislative background sheet<\/a>, for-profit postsecondary schools aggressively recruit veterans in order to enroll GI bill beneficiaries in their institutions. Recruiting departments at private for-profit postsecondary educational institutions face pressure to enroll GI Bill beneficiaries even though many schools have high tuition costs and low probability of student success after completing programs. While CSAAVE began to issue regulations that would have established such \u201creasonable criteria,\u201d it has not finalized them. AB 1731 would ensure that CSAAVE has all the information necessary to determine whether or not a postsecondary educational program should receive access to this hard-earned federal funding.<\/p>\n<p>AB 1731 is currently scheduled to be heard in committee on March 3, 2022.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Follow us on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CPILUSD\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Follow us on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/cpil-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/addons\/extra-icons\/image\/social\/circle\/64x64\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Follow us on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cpilusd\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Follow us on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/cpil-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/addons\/extra-icons\/image\/social\/circle\/64x64\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Mackenzie McCoy AB 1731 (Davies), as introduced on January 31, 2022, would add section 67102.5 to the Education Code to require the California State Approving Agency for Veterans Education (CSAAVE) to establish reasonable criteria for postsecondary institutions seeking to <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/cpil-blog\/2022\/02\/15\/ab-1731-seeks-to-protect-gi-bill-recipients-from-predatory-postsecondary-educational-institutions\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1013,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[132871,136718],"tags":[137988,132873,137991,73,137992,137990,31017],"coauthors":[132864],"class_list":["post-692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bureau-of-private-post-secondary-education","category-legislation-bureau-of-private-post-secondary-education","tag-ab1731","tag-bppe","tag-csaave","tag-education","tag-gi-bill","tag-predatory-postsecondary","tag-veterans"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
