Donald's claim that Trump University is like Wharton may send him to trial

I also don’t like private and public financial aid offices routinely making similar promises and pushing kids and their parents into non-dischargable loans when there’s little chance of a job waiting. National average in 2014 $25K(-/+) per student, significantly higher than the average “damages” in the politically motivated case against Trump which will most likely go nowhere. It doesn’t excuse Trump’s involvement is a similar endeavor, but it needs to be considered in context.

These other colleges are actually staffed by professional instructors qualified via academic degrees in the subject matter being taught. Trump's diploma mill was taught by self-help gurus with no relevant academic credentials and where a record existed, a history of failure in the endeavor (real estate investing) being taught.

“These other colleges are actually staffed by professional instructors qualified via academic degrees in the subject matter being taught. “

You’re right, that’s worse. There’s a reasonable expectation the nondischargable loans they push will lead to a job.

After all only an idiot would fall for some seminar “taught by self-help gurus with no relevant academic credentials”. I guess it’s a good thing the debt is dischargeable.
