Tuition help for Cali vets: $0

Due to a snafu in the new Post- 9/11 GI Bill, California veterans won't get the aid for private colleges that vets in other states do.

Here the thousands paid by students are called fees, and the feds wrote the rules to peg aid for attending private schools to the tuition costs at the public universities.
