The Veterans Legal Services Clinic represents Veterans Education Success (VES), a D.C.-based organization, in its efforts to protect veterans against deceptive recruiting practices by predatory colleges.
On behalf of VES, the Clinic produced a legal memorandum outlining the VA’s obligation to deny G.I. Bill funds to educational institutions that use deceptive or misleading practices to recruit veterans. The memorandum concludes that the VA has a clear, undisputable congressional mandate to disapprove funding to any educational program that deceptively recruits veterans. In February 2016, the Clinic traveled to Washington, D.C. to brief White House and Congressional staffers on the legal findings in the memorandum.
