Indiana Governor Mike Pence is asking the VA to provide relief to veterans who attended ITT Technical Institute which shut its doors earlier this month. The now defunct private college had its headquarters in Carmel, IN, a suburb of Indianapolis. Pence, who is Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump's running mate, sent VA Secretary Robert McDonald a letter Friday, asking the VA to reinstate the GI Bill benefits of veterans affected by the closure of ITT Tech. Nearly 7,000 veterans were attending ITT Tech or planned to do so during an upcoming term, according to a recent email from Terry Jemison, a spokesperson for the VA's Veterans Benefits Administration, which oversees the educational program. The total enrollment at ITT Tech's 130 locations spread across 38 states topped 40,000. For more details, see this Military.com article.
