Jun. 12, 2013 - Bipartisan legislation that would force public colleges and universities to charge only in-state tuition rates to troops and veterans — if they want to keep receiving GI Bill payments — is facing strong opposition from schools that could see revenues drop under the proposal.Two competing proposals are pending before Congress: the GI Bill Tuition Fairness Act, which would make schools reduce tuition charges; and the Veterans Education Equity Act, which would increase GI Bill tuition payments for nonresident students.
The House Veterans’ Affairs Committee approved the GI Bill Tuition Fairness Act on May 8, but the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee has yet to decide which, if any, measure to approve.
Veterans’ groups favor charging in-state tuition to all veterans, as well as for spouses and children using transferred GI Bill benefits. read more>>>
