If the Veterans Affairs Department approves a school for GI Bill funding, does that mean it\u2019s a good school?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer should be yes, said Tanya Ang, policy and outreach director for the nonprofit Veterans Education Success, but it isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause of the way certain laws stand now, that\u2019s not always the case, and so that\u2019s something that we\u2019re working on to protect,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ang, whose organization provides free legal and counseling services to veterans and family members who have been defrauded by schools, moderated a session on the Post-9\/11 GI Bill at Student Veterans of America\u2019s National Conference Thursday. The session, \u201cDefending the GI Bill, Leading for Tomorrow,\u201d shared how federal, state and nonprofits work together to protect veterans from \u201cpredatory schools.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t
