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
servicemembers.
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 SVA President and CEO, D. Wayne Robinson. "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 (VA) to develop resources and
information regarding how veterans will be affected by the closure of the Corinthian Colleges system.
