Editing G.I. Bill (section)

===Colleges that target veterans===
After the GI Bill was instituted in the 1940s, a number of "fly-by-night" vocational schools were created. Some of these for-profit colleges still target veterans, who are excluded from the [[90-10 rule]] for federal funding. This loophole encourages for-profit colleges to target and aggressively recruit veterans and their families.<ref name="newgibill.org">{{cite web|url=http://www.newgibill.org/blog/the-90-10-rule-why-predatory-schools-target-veterans|title=The 90-10 Rule: Why Predatory Schools Target Veterans|access-date=June 19, 2016|archive-date=August 17, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150817223750/http://www.newgibill.org/blog/the-90-10-rule-why-predatory-schools-target-veterans|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2015/06/for-profit-college-veterans-loophole/396731/|title=Why For-Profit Colleges Target Military Veterans|first=Alia|last=Wong|website=[[The Atlantic]]|date=June 24, 2015|access-date=June 19, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Davidson |first=Jake |date=November 11, 2014 |title=Money Military Heroes: How For-Profit Colleges Target Military Veterans (and Your Tax Dollars) |url=https://money.com/collection-post/veterans-college-for-profit/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200224143504/https://money.com/collection-post/veterans-college-for-profit/ |archive-date=February 24, 2020 |access-date=June 19, 2016}}</ref> Legislative efforts to close the 90-10 loophole have failed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.militarytimes.com/story/veterans/best-for-vets/education/2015/06/23/for-profit-colleges-gibill-problems/29160377/|title=For-profit schools targeted again over GI Bill payouts|access-date=June 19, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ibtimes.com/profit-colleges-9010-loophole-latest-target-democrats-military-veterans-education-1982127|title=For-Profit Colleges' 90/10 Loophole Latest Target For Democrats With Military And Veterans Education Protection Act|website=[[International Business Times]]|date=June 24, 2015|access-date=June 19, 2016}}</ref>
