Abbey, Derek Michael – ProQuest LLC, 2019
The Post-9/11 GI Bill was implemented in 2009.

Shireman, Robert – Century Foundation, 2019
For-profit colleges do not always recruit aggressively; nor do they always shortchange students. But the problem of colleges systematically overpromising and underdelivering, when it does happen, has largely been a for-profit phenomenon.

Dulchinos, Paul C. – ProQuest LLC, 2014
Over two million military personnel will leave the service over the next decade (Cook & Kim; 2009). The majority of these veterans will receive the most generous GI Bill since its inception (United States Department of Veterans Affairs [VA], 2011).
