Obama Signs Order to Limit Aggressive College Recruiting of Veterans


At Georgia’s Fort Stewart on Friday, President Obama signed an executive order to help protect military families and veterans from aggressive and deceptive recruiting by higher education institutions — especially for-profit colleges — seeking their military benefits.


The executive order will require colleges to provide more information about their student outcomes and financial aid, create a centralized complaint system and direct the Veterans Administration to trademark the term “G.I. Bill” to make it harder for colleges to create Web sites resembling official government sites or falsely suggest that they offer special access to veterans’ benefits

Well, that's almost like regulating a crooked industry. Similar to the administrations response to the BP oil spill, add paper work to make them promise it will never happen again then approve 400 new drilling sites
