Advocates warn GI Bill students of shady college recruiting amid coronavirus pandemic

"A new report released Wednesday from Veterans Education Success found a significant increase in college advertising related to the coronavirus pandemic, encouraging students to reconsider their short-term learning plans given many school’s decisions to shift to online-only classes.

A number of the schools studied by the group have faced penalties in the past for misleading recruiting tactics and questionable practices targeting military and veteran students, whose GI Bill benefits can provide a stable source of revenue for the institutions."
