YSU to offer veterans credit for military training, schooling

Oh Jeez,..

What a shameful laugh of a whitewash cleanup effort and an absolute avoidable area embarrassment YSU is.

See now right on the heels of their discovering an inability to suck, steal and crook the books to siphon more local, state and federal money out of hosting the early college program for the youth,.. they ditched the kids.

So now they're shifting focus and setting sights on trying to lure the Veterans into their worthless money pit,.. unreal.

See YSU's manner / business plan has been steeped in fleecing the veterans for years. By structurally sucking every penny, nickle and dine out of them { Vets } by being one of the only outfits in existence not recognizing their military service equated education.

They've been doing it solely to make Veterans take paid class course load in a manner of profit / fleece driven redundancy. Not recognizing a bit of the vast experience related education they receive far beyond routine civilian life.

See this " New " is a long standing protocol of far better and more upstanding schools than YSU. The institutions like Ohio State and every other appealing school have been doing this for many, many years.

They're called SOC schools with is an abbreviated acronym for their being Service member Opportunity Colleges,.. look it up

Which those schools and even provide more initial college credit equation course hours than the YSU clip joint is trying to conform with forthcoming.

Even now by " nickle & dime " policy YSU isn't even making the conformity retroactive for those Vets they'd already managed to lure in,.. they're treated as absolute PROFIT margins.

Which is a farce when one " Enrolled " service member can have the same or more service related / received experience quality as a new enroll and the newly enrolled student doesn't receive the same equal or comparable credit,.. an absolute FLEECE !!!

See YSU had a few pretty good professors proctoring in their classrooms a few years back. So this isn't a swipe at those in scholastic professorship there. Because YSU may still have a few on classroom staff.

However, the YSU problem is as an institution that administratively has historically been. Thus now continues to be ran as a grimy low outfit beyond their bottom of the barrel tier 4 curriculum identity,.. and clearly they've not changed a bit.

I'd strongly suggest when the new community college gets a bit more established with more locations to serve the advanced education crowd.

The parents and students making a choice in pursuit of advancing their education. Their focus and support needs to be given to the new non YSU affiliated school.

Because YSU is nothing but a rouse roost of nepotism. That serves as a depository for despot recognized as the haven for area has been crooked politicians.

Whom via their cronies network cut in abject failures as family and friends. Whom get cut in to the ponzi scheme established on an educational angle.

As a military retiree, YSU, you are a total JOKE!!!!! I've had other universities give me between 36-40 credit hours based the on the training/experience I received in 22 years of active duty service. I was SERIOUSLY comtemplating finishing up my degree at YSU. But now I won't, what a HUGE ripoff. Guess I'll be going to an online school.

@Soupcity85,..

Speaking from experience I salute you for your fellow selfless service as well as being a vet that also obtained a higher education.

See just like airlines and other establishments used to provide a service members discount rate. That was honorably given out of the respect and appreciation for the sacrifices of service. In a way of recognition assistance of our bellow median average income in comparison to the civilian sector,..

Which they no longer do and the only one I hear that still does is greyhound bus transit and a few commercial retailers and a sparse number of fast food diners.

Which marks a deplorable decline in civilian sector support and respect for who they're in the company of.

Thus as vets we learn fast who truly respects, honors and appreciates our ultimate defenders role as uniformed U.S. service members.

Where if the best any establishment can do to honor the sacrifices of our service is to try to bilk us. Regardless to what they say their policies and protocol speaks for itself,..

Which YSU not only has a long history of not honoring veteran equated college credit. Thus now pulling this " bellow average " equation credit hours stunt.

Leaves no question that they're now trying to devise a way to prey upon luring more of the Veteran community.

Where when they still refuse to credit on the standard scale of SOC college credit hours as all the others. It lets wise service members know they're dealing with those that's best avoided.

In my assessment Case Western, Kent State along with Akron University and Penn State Trumbull.

All offer a far better deal, more advanced upper level courses and more widely recognized and respected accreditation. So they're worth the commute be it grad or undergrad courses,..

It's amazing to me that a YSU can attract any student seriously considering pursuit or completion of a college education,..

What makes it so bad is it's been nothing short of their idiotic greed that compromises their growth. Which diminishes the local support that's tried to rally around them and a vast number of individuals whom would have enrolled.

But as we see they've not changed and they have no excuse and they bear no sensible consideration.

Where speaking in the competitive county sense they chase the wise student away from having any wise interest or logical reason to have anything to do with them,.. in spite of locality.
