SVA Announces Not Recommended Schools List

From a July 22 Student Veterans of America (SVA) press release: Even after Corinthian Colleges announced its closure, several of their affiliate institutions continued to actively recruit students and traveled to military installations to speak with active-duty service members. Because of this, SVA is announcing the creation of a "Not Recommended" schools list and will caution student veterans to avoid these institutions. "We applaud the role that various government agencies have played in the exposure of abusive practices, including the active leadership shown by several key Members of Congress," said Wayne Robinson, SVA President and CEO. "We also recognize that SVA is nimble, and as an organization of over 1,000 chapters, we have the responsibility to put pressure on institutions who continue to demonstrate they do not create a campus environment conducive to veteran success. SVA's 'Not Recommended' list will call attention to these campuses so that student veterans can make informed decisions on how to best use their benefits." SVA is also working closely with the Department of Veterans Affairs to develop resources and information regarding how veterans will be affected by the closure of the Corinthian Colleges system. The following schools are the first to be named to the "Not Recommended" list: Everest College, Heald College and Wyotech. For more information visit http://www.studentveterans.org
