She is no trophy
If she wasn’t a senator’s wife She’d be in prison for defrauding banks to loan money to Burlington college to purchase some very exclusive land
Dang near bankrupted the college or maybe she did

Here's Politico's fairly even-handed treatment of Sanders over-reach and nearly bankrupting the college. In short, she borrowed money to purchase 30+ acres along Lake Champlain from the Catholic Diocese, hoping for expansion by attracting foreign and out-of-state students who pay higher tuition than in-state, also alumnae grants.

The students it did attract ouldn't pay enough tuition to repay the loan, and the college was near bankrupt. Jane left with a 200K severance package. The woman who replaced her struggled with the problems, and the student union drove her to resign. The college ended up selling all but about 6 acres of the lakeside land.

Politico - What happened at Sanders U.

Politico sounds more pro-Hillary, but probably got the essential facts of the Sanders' part of it correct. It's a long article which is why I tried to summarize it.
