Download or read book Should Colleges Spend the GI Bill on Veterans Education Or on Late Night TV Ads written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By analyzing US Education Department data on college expenditures and student outcomes, it is possible to report how much or how little colleges are spending on student instruction and whether students are benefitting. Of the 10 colleges charging taxpayers the most overall Post-9/11 GI Bill tuition and fee payments from FY 2009-17, totaling $5.4 billion, seven spent less than one-third of students’ gross tuition and fees on instruction in 2017 and struggled with outcomes: Less than 28% of their students completed an award or degree and only half (52%) earned more than a high school graduate. In contrast, students who attended top-10-grossing GI Bill schools that spent more than one- third of gross tuition on instruction had a 60% completion rate, and two-thirds earned more than the average high school graduate. Overall, 378 institutions meet our metrics for “Best Instructional Bang for the GI Bill Buck.” These schools spend at least 50% on instruction, while also showing that at least half of their students complete and earn more than the average high school graduate after attending. Four schools represent the “Bottom of the Barrel,” charging taxpayers $83 million in Post-9/11 GI Bill tuition and fees in 2017, but spending less than 10% of their gross tuition revenue on student instruction. The three of these four for which outcomes data is available left only one in four students (26%) with a credential in hand and just a little more than half (51%) earning more than a high school graduate.
Download or read book The G I Bill written by Kathleen J. Frydl and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-08-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have argued about U.S. state development - in particular its laggard social policy and weak institutional capacity - for generations. Neo-institutionalism has informed and enriched these debates, but, as yet, no scholar has reckoned with a very successful and sweeping social policy designed by the federal government: the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, more popularly known as the GI Bill. Kathleen J. Frydl addresses the GI Bill in the first study based on systematic and comprehensive use of the records of the Veterans Administration. Frydl's research situates the Bill squarely in debates about institutional development, social policy and citizenship, and political legitimacy. It demonstrates the multiple ways in which the GI Bill advanced federal power and social policy, and, at the very same time, limited its extent and its effects.

Download or read book The GI Bill written by Glenn Altschuler and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-02 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On rare occasions in American history, Congress enacts a measure so astute, so far-reaching, so revolutionary, it enters the language as a metaphor. The Marshall Plan comes to mind, as does the Civil Rights Act. But perhaps none resonates in the American imagination like the G.I. Bill. In a brilliant addition to Oxford's acclaimed Pivotal Moments in American History series, historians Glenn C. Altschuler and Stuart M. Blumin offer a compelling and often surprising account of the G.I. Bill and its sweeping and decisive impact on American life. Formally known as the Serviceman's Readjustment Act of 1944, it was far from an obvious, straightforward piece of legislation, but resulted from tense political maneuvering and complex negotiations. As Altschuler and Blumin show, an unlikely coalition emerged to shape and pass the bill, bringing together both New Deal Democrats and conservatives who had vehemently opposed Roosevelt's social-welfare agenda. For the first time in American history returning soldiers were not only supported, but enabled to pursue success--a revolution in America's policy towards its veterans. Once enacted, the G.I. Bill had far-reaching consequences. By providing job training, unemployment compensation, housing loans, and tuition assistance, it allowed millions of Americans to fulfill long-held dreams of social mobility, reshaping the national landscape. The huge influx of veterans and federal money transformed the modern university and the surge in single home ownership vastly expanded America's suburbs. Perhaps most important, as Peter Drucker noted, the G.I. Bill "signaled the shift to the knowledge society." The authors highlight unusual or unexpected features of the law--its color blindness, the frankly sexist thinking behind it, and its consequent influence on race and gender relations. Not least important, Altschuler and Blumin illuminate its role in individual lives whose stories they weave into this thoughtful account. Written with insight and narrative verve by two leading historians, The G.I. Bill makes a major contribution to the scholarship of postwar America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a blogger writing posts on three websites in response to submitted GI Bill questions, I'm continually both surprised and frustrated at the amount of mis-information there is floating around out there and at the number of veterans who end up mismanaging and squandering their GI Bill benefits - ending up with nothing to show for their hard-earned benefit. I constantly see the same, or variations of the same questions, asked over and over again, so my intent with this guide is three-fold:• Put some of the mis-information to rest.• Provide answers to frequently asked questions.• Provide some ways veterans can use to shorten their time to a degree. • Highlighting the savvy tactics veterans can use to maximize their GI Bill benefits by starting the tactic out with Secret #. After exhaustive research over the last three years, I finally have a finished comprehensive guide that shows you the GI Bill facts and ways you can use to maximize the effectiveness of using your GI Bill.
