  • 2.  Vietnam Veteran Act?

    Posted 08-03-2004 08:52
    Dear all,

    I recall there was something like a Vietnam Veteran Act that made it
    possible for Vietnam veterans to enter higher education (in particular
    management education???) very easily after having served in the US Army.

    As I remember it, it was quite similar to the post-World War II G.I. Bill.

    I can't however trace this back to any source...

    Who can help me out or direct me to some online info about this?

    All the best,

  • 3.  Vietnam Veteran Act?

    Posted 08-03-2004 09:26
    It is the Vietnam Era Veteran's Rehabilitation Asssistance Act. Look at
    the Dept. of Labor (in the US) website. It makes nothing easy for the
    veteran and leaves a significant amount of judgement in the hands of
    hiring authorities. It is not very well enforced.
