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. Despite learning these facts, for the last two years, Schneiderman’s office has spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars conducting a no holds barred, scorched earth investigation, assigning as many as ten of his staff members to interview former Trump University employees and review literally hundreds of thousands of pages of documents. Making matters worse, Schneiderman chose to devote such valuable taxpayer dollars to looking into Trump University even though there was already a class action lawsuit pending in California brought by the firm of disgraced former lawyers and convicted felons Bill Lerach and Mel Weiss.
And what did Schneiderman’s office find after wasting so much of the taxpayers’ hard earned money? Exactly what Trump University told the Attorney General on day one – that as much as 98% of those students who participated in Trump University programs were not only satisfied with their Trump University experience, but would recommend the program to a friend.

Quite possibly wouldn’t have gone belly-up if the college had been cheating the students blind.
You haven’t read carefully. Or else you are a recent convert. Welcome aboard.
Because it's a massive fraud. Duh.
Closed, as in tidily wound down is not the same thing as belly up. I gave many details on CW’s thread earlier today. Folks are telling one 19th of the story to smear.
I’d be the first to agree with you. In fact, I posted an excellent Village Voice article about the for-profit colleges years ago.
This link is like linking to the Clinton Foundation for objective information about Hillary.
Actually, the content is pretty straightforward. Surveys from former Trump U attendees, reviews from former Trump U attendees, articles on the AG bringing the suit, and two youtube videos.
Is it all positive? Yes, because it is a compilation and answer to the negative onslaught by the gope, cruz and rubio team. If you want the negative info, turn on any news station, anyone of talkradio, or go to any conservative blog site, and don't forget Mark Levin and Glenn!!
Most Arts and Social studies from Main Stream University are frauds. I don’t see people sueing the university for them
The game against obama critics must be full throttle in NY, almost hard to imagine.
my local Walmart has a bigger disapproval rating
Trump is alarmingly popular upstate, by the way.
Breaking News? Get a grip.
I found this news article a little more even handed on the subject. Telling both sides.
Example: 98% approval... but NY says some were pressured to fill out positive reviews and some were filled out before they took the courses.

It seems to me the parameters of this lawsuit suggest every public school and many universities are vulnerable to lawsuits by dropouts and failures in life who attended them.
Different kind of fraud from the kind described in the Village Voice article.
You can bet the farm on that!
It’s actually very much in the news right now.
It’s funny, really.
The defense at this Trump site could be that the courses were fair, given in good faith and if some people did not feel satisfied, that is normal for any school or set of classes.
But they have to go for the totalitarian defense that it was in fact essentially perfect. 98%. Like 98% voting for Saddam Hussein or Kim Jong-il.
This is an insane web site and whomever put it up is wasting Trump’s money.
Sounding like Trump U did a GREAT JOB after all and those that are suing it are just Democrat operatives.
I should have guessed...
Name calling always wins people over, doesn’t it. Unless you just want to be insulting for insulting’s sake, of course.
Hope you have a very happy Super Tuesday :)
Well, who else would have a compilation of the surveys and testimonials that former students filed upon graduation? I was pointing out the obvious because I didn’t want to be bothered by squiggly cruzers who would maniacally point that out, guess I didn’t do as well as I thought.
