The Veterans Administration lifted the suspension on Southern Vermont College for approved veteran benefits. A three member committee found irregularities not serious enough to keep the college suspended, though overpayments and liability remain under case by case review. VA officials will consult with college leaders to ensure proper veterans paperwork and file accuracy.
