A new report by The Center for Investigative Reporting has found that $600 million in education assistance to Iraq and Afghanistan veterans has been spent on California schools so substandard that they failed to qualify for state financial aid.

The story is premiering on CIR's new radio program, Reveal. Aaron Glantz covers veterans and domestic military issues for The Center for Investigative Reporting and wrote the article about huge sums of GI Bill funds being used in for-profit schools in California.
