Something tells me that there is something wrong.

I do not think they should be allowed to use any more then 10 percent of their total revenue for marketing and sales campaigns.

I think we want to make sure that as we struggle through this challenge of identifying bad actors and promoting good practices, that we focus on the academic dimension of this question and not simply the economic one.

I would not want to encourage any kind of a policy change that ended up with unintended consequences such as reducing the amount of opportunities and access to higher education that our veterans enjoy and deserve.

I think that is an important distinction that we should maintain and keep that in front of our mind

I think all of the Federal funds should be put on the 90 percent side.

Great, thanks very much for that testimony. Really, uniformly excellent testimony from this panel. Thank you. Thank you all.

And I would emphasize the importance of the concept of cooperative efforts in this regard.

All of us have to be part of the solution, and my hope is that following today's hearing, we will be more inspired to do that.

There have been too many instances, especially I think in the House, strongly opposed.

Veterans, the very people who have defended our country and protected our Constitutional Republic and given us the free market society that we in business so dearly enjoy, deserve better treatment.

The predatory for-profit schools are hindering our veterans and their spouses from being able to obtain gainful employment.

I think at the end of the day, it has to be a combination of cutting spending, a combination of raising some revenues, a combination of growing the heck out of the economy, in combination of getting better results for less money in every…

Our country faces huge budget deficits. We are not sure how we are going to get out of it.

I think it is important for us to identify best practices.

For every servicemember that a for-profit college recruits... the for-profit college can then go out and enroll nine other students.

So out of 6,000, one has been barred?

It is the State Approving Agency's authority to pull approval when those situations do occur.

Ultimately, it is the VA's responsibility.

Senator Harkin and I were joined at a press conference earlier this morning on the subject that relates very much to what we are looking at today.

If I am a veteran coming home using the Post-9/11 GI Bill and I have a complaint about the school, with whom do I address this concern?

Do we have any idea if that is case?

I hope they are going to be successful because we need that.

Has any of this guidance or support, is it required for all vets using the GI Bill?

So we want to reach the individuals while they are still servicemembers because a lot of times, that is really when they are making the decisions on where they could potentially go to school.
