Mark Takano, D-Calif., sponsor of the measure and chairman of the House Veterans\u2019 Affairs Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis loophole incentivizes these predatory for-profits to aggressively recruit servicemembers and veterans for their earned education benefits \u2026 We must close the loophole to rein in the predatory for-profit college industry and protect servicemember and veterans\u2019 hard-earned education benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuesday\u2019s proposal \u2014 which was added to the annual defense authorization bill by a largely partisan 232-184 vote \u2014 would not apply to veterans education benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Advocates have also pushed in the past for restricting how those GI Bill dollars are classified, but without success in Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For-profit schools have argued in the past that such changes unfairly target their students, many of whom choose the institutions because of flexible learning schedules and programs, not because of heavy-handed recruiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/education-transition\/2019\/12\/20\/for-profit-colleges-access-to-veteran-education-benefits-the-focus-of-new-investigation\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/5973869.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">For-profit college\u2019s access to veteran education benefits the focus of new investigation<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Lawmakers are taking another look at the &quot;90\/10&quot; rule that encourages schools to target veterans.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c(This plan) seeks to punish a small business because it had the audacity to try to help military and veteran students achieve their educational and career potential,\u201d said Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C. \u201cCongress should not deny educational choices to military service members because of arbitrary accounting gimmicks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move comes just days after administration officials reauthorized a pair of for-profit schools to receive GI Bill funding despite past deceptive advertising. Officials from University of Phoenix and Bellevue University had been barred from enrolling new GI Bill students for several months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The House proposal faces long-odds in the Republican-controlled Senate, where similar measures have failed to gain legislative traction in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negotiators for the annual defense authorization bill to which the proposal was attached may also decide to dump the plan in favor of passing the bulk of the rest of the budget policy measure, which includes items like the annual military pay raise and military end strength requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is a win for students.
