Well, don’t Harvard and Duke offer Womyn’s Studies degrees?
They mislead students into thinking they won’t get a life of asking people if they want fries with that.

“The for-profit college operator, which filed for bankruptcy protection in May, was also faulted for advertising programs or degrees that it didn’t offer, such as training programs for X-ray and dialysis technicians, according to court papers.”

Sounds a lot like Planned Parenthood. Where is the lawsuit against them?

From the article : Earlier this month, attorneys for Corinthian asked to withdraw from the case, writing in court papers that "there is literally no representative of any defendant with whom" they could confer about the case. The judge denied the lawyers' request.

The people running it apparently have disappeared. Given such a huge pending judgement, I'm not surprised.

Responsibility2nd: 1.1 Billion? Wow. Wonder what the Trump University students will collect?

LOL, tag-team lies by insinuation and slander. And this is what it takes to "defend conservatism"? I think not. But to defend the GOPe and the Rats, yep, it's exactly what it takes.

I expect this to be overturned on appeal.

You don’t like our snarking at Trump University? Are we wrong stating that it was a fraud from the get-go?

Perhaps you have some evidence - some link - that Trump U was in some how some way a success.

For somebody other than trump, of course.

YES! I want one of those!

(Amazing how such a meme survives for decades - actually, I am *just now* watching that recent Deadpool flick, and fairly at the beginning there was that reference. And here it is again. LOL)

I think the way things work is that as the snarkers, you’re supposed to provide some evidence for your position, first.

Of course when all you’ve got is slander, that’s hard to do.

No, she won a seat in the U.S. Senate. The $1.1-billion judgment isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

“some evidence”? Whatsa matter? Your Google don’t work?

Google Trump University and see 11,400,000 links to your evidence.
