TRUMP UNIVERSITY HAS A 98% APPROVAL RATING. SO WHY IS NY AG ERIC SCHNEIDERMAN GOING AFTER THEM?

ABOUT THIS WEBSITE

This website was created to bring to the public's attention the gross incompetence of New York State Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman. Despite letting the fat cats of Wall Street slip away without a single conviction following the worst financial collapse in this nation's history – leaving more than 20% of all homes in New York still underwater -- in the last year, Eric Schneiderman has instructed his office of more than 650 attorneys to instead focus their attention and significant taxpayer resources -- on far more mundane matters such as preventing the merger of two online food ordering services, cracking down on the owner of a Brooklyn tortilla factory for workers’ compensation violations and prosecuting a Suffolk car wash owner for not properly distributing tips to workers, all in an effort to pursue his own personal political agenda in advance of the next election.

In the case of Trump University, the situation is even more disturbing. While Schneiderman’s investigation into Trump University first arose out of a larger inquiry into for-profit schools that accepted federal funding, his office quickly learned that neither Trump University nor its students had ever received any form of federal funding, subsidies or other government aid -- and offered all of its students a 3 day money back guarantee if they were not completely satisfied.

It’s not like a number of these online universities and other schools have sterling reputations. Many of them play for suckers large numbers the working class, into loans and as a method to fleece the federal financial aid programs.

Trump tries a new business line. Either it works or it doesn’t. Not every business venture is a great success. But he is at least willing to try thing that are outside of his area of expertise. Sometimes the dice come up craps.

Because he's a RAT, and that's what RATs do?

“Trump University has a 98 % approval rating”

And raw sewage is 99.1 percent pure water.

You do know that Trump admitted that there was a request for refunds from 25% of the students? This is from a Trump disposition.

Donald Trump’s Defense of ‘University’ Relies on Shaky Math

Now how could 25% of students ask for a refund, and still give a 98% excellence rating.

The more apparent inconsistency is that Covais–seeking to demonstrate that Trump University had an accommodating refund policy–declared that the company had issued 2,144 refunds to 6,698 attendees of the $1,495 three-day program, or 32%. That a third of the customers demanded refunds is hard to reconcile with a claimed 98% satisfaction rate, especially since the mass of plaintiffs now suing claimed that they, too, wanted refunds but were, they claimed, told they could not get them because they did not ask for them within 72 hours of the first day of participating in a program. Similarly, the refund rate for the $34,995 program, which according to the lawsuits was tougher on giving money back, was 16%. If at least 31% of one group and 16% of the other were so instantly dissatisfied that they immediately demanded refunds, how could 98% have been satisfied?

Why did 98% of the students say there were satisfied if 30% or so wanted refunds?

It’s simple Trump is lying. He admitted to the refunds in court. He’s just blowing smoke about the 98% approval so the Trumpbots will continue to support him.

according to the BB certificate at the link, the BB acknowledges that TEI was previously TU, so I don’t see how any history could be ‘lost’?

The fee was $15K. She stuck in there for $800K in legal fees. Who does that?

If it was the math classes she was unhappy with, she may have a case.

Post 31 probably has the correct answer.

You posted your embarrassing reply barely one minute after the OP was made. How could you even have had time to read any of the information in the article/link?

Not liking Trump is one thing. Showing utter ignorance is another.
