I know there are schools who have offered educational resources to their employees and employee family. I also know the GI Bill allowed and allows benefits to qualified veterans. It’s complicated, though, and seems to often change qualifications.

I'm in touch with them
Slay those dragons, girl! :)
I'm proud to have the same political opinions as you do! Thanks for expressing them so well, and informing the folks who get your words.
Let me know if I can do anything! It’s so outrageous and I regret that I was so ignorant until your post!

I've asked the union how to help. Will let you know. x
