Can private, non-profit educational institutions aggressively recruit servicemembers and veterans? Or only for-profits?

Yes Sir. Graduation rate is one metric. There are many more: student loan default rate; job placement rate; and earning capacity - cost ratio, to name a few. LTC Jason Mackay

This is the discussion point I was asking about Sir. “Soliciting,” “aggressive recruiting,” and “unduly recruiting” are phrases that need further fleshing out and I would like to see Student Veterans of America, Veterans Education Success and other lobbying groups objectively define them. In my personal opinion, that is exactly what some non-profits out there are doing just before they dissolve into another non-profit, close permanently, or drop classes/programs. I’ve gone through a detailed analysis of non-profits in the US (publishing soon) and some nonprofits don’t need TA or GI Bill, their combined $1.5 mil represents only .05 percent to .1 percent of their net revenue (Harvard, Yale, etc.). However there are other non-profits out there with extremely weak endowments/investments/enrollment that are deliberately targeting vets and their benefits for a total 45-60% of their net revenue and, worse, their not offering scholarship to these veterans and servicemembers and they are marketing in partnership with low ranking publications using subsidized tax dollars. Again, just my personal opinion Sir, I’d like to see folks out there understand what a form 990 is, and how a non-profit business model functions. LTC Jason Mackay

CPT (Join to see) - ok. Riddle me this. Do you have an example of a not for profit college or educational institution that exhibits the attributes you are citing? Not a not for profit organization. It is like comparing apples and lawn chairs.

I will concede right now that there are indeed unscrupulous non-profit organizations and they have in the past taken advantage of people via squandered or diverted donations. I will so stipulate. The tax exemption status they are under is ultimately what governs that behavior.

Are we talking accredited private and public not for profit education institutions?

When you say recruitment, are we talking recruitment as students or employees?

The National Graduate School of Quality Management, Sir. I have a bunch more, but I'm trying to protect the value of my upcoming book on this subject.
