Conant Group Protests VA 'Abuse' Poll

The American Council on Education, of which President Conant is chairman, is protesting a current Veteran's Administration survey as being "too negative."

The VA is investigating alleged abuses of the veteran's educational program in colleges and training institutions. It is particularly interested in misleading advertising emphasizing subsistence benefits rather than training, and dummy veterans' supply business firms attempting to increase profits "to the institution or interested parties."

Council Position

The Council on Education, fooling that this approach is too mild, is attempting to gather information as to what schools were established after the founding of the veterans' training program, how many have already had investigations of tuition rates and of other "inadequacies and irregularities," and how many schools have not been approved by the Veterans' Administration for rehabilitation.
