Since launching her bid for president, Hillary Clinton has been a vocal critic of for-profit schools, pledging in speeches across the country to “crack down on predatory schools” and help students drowning in student loan debt.
“If they load students up with debt for programs that don’t lead to good paying jobs, students and taxpayers should not be the only ones left holding the bag,” said Clinton in a campaign speech in New Hampshire. […]
… Over five years, former president Bill Clinton earned $17.6 million from the world’s largest for-profit education company, Laureate Education, Inc. In his role as “honorary chancellor,” Clinton has traveled the world on Laureate’s behalf, extolling the virtues of the school.
And some two dozen former and current students at Laureate’s flagship school in the U.S. — an online, for-profit school called Walden University — told NBC News they feel victimized by the kind of practices Clinton has promised to fight. A 2015 study found Walden students had compiled the second-highest debt load of any school in the U.S. …

But, based on the NBC national news last night, they have been spending months checking into Trump’s finances and debt ratio, for which their leading and unattributed questions will take up substantially all of their air time for the next few weeks.
Notice the term - “predatory” Typical communist rhetoric. Also notice nothing said about teacher salaries being a huge driver in the costs because teachers are a Dem base group. This crooked bitch should never get any where near the WH.
Even the MSM is coming awake on what a disaster Hillary is.
Harvard and Yale are “non-profit”. They have billions invetsed, and anything given to them is a gift to Charity.
Kind of like the Clinton Crime Family Foundation.
Harvard’s endowment is 37.6 billion, Yale’s is 25.57 billion, and both are ‘not-for-profit’. As such they don’t pay taxes, but they have produced many of the political class, like Hillary, who have lived off the backs of American taxpayers. Oh, they also expand the size of their endowment by participation in hedge funds and questionable financial practices - including insider trading.
But who cares.
Just to be honest with you, “for profit” beats the hell out of those that are ‘for loss’.
The not for profit colleges also get people in debt for degrees that are useless for getting a job. The only difference is the NFP is partially funded by taxpayers and they don’t pay taxes.
The fact that NBC is reporting this is remarkable. It’s almost as if—dare I?—have seen internal polls and are laying the groundwork for coverage of a Cankles DEFEAT???
It just shows Hillary’s socialistic mentality towards businesses - businesses only exist to provide jobs not to make a profit.
Not one word about how Hillary’s State Dept funneled $70 million to an outfit that is run by Laureate.
HELLO REPORTERS!!!!
A whole new group to send Bill’s resume and list of speaking fees
A whole new group to send Bill’s resume and list of speaking fees
On KFI radio yesterday I heard on the John and Ken show how one women owed $200,000 to a school under the Laureate umbrella for her online college experience. I do not know what degree she was getting for that but she earned A’s for being gullible.
For sure. That’s a lot of debt to start out with.

She should talk to Bernie Sander’s Wife.
She Bankrupted a College in Vermont.
For Profit, Not for Profit, either way they are Liberal Cesspools.
Funny how the Harridan doesn’t mind taking $200,000 and up to speak at various colleges.
