When Jane Sanders was in charge of a small private college in Vermont for seven years, it sank deep into debt while trying to expand its campus. Many students took out tens of thousands of dollars in loans to attend, but their investment was questionable: Only a third of former Burlington College students earn more than the average person with a high school diploma.

Jane Sanders’ husband, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, has offered a higher-education plan that would make tuition at public colleges free. But it would do little to prod colleges, public or private, to keep costs down or ensure that a college degree is worthwhile for graduates.

Jane Sanders, who led Burlington College from 2004 to 2011, spent millions on a new campus — 33 acres along the bank of Lake Champlain — to attract more students and donations from alumni. It didn’t work: The college failed to recruit enough students or donations to repay its debts and even came close to losing its accreditation. What happened at Sanders U. When Bernie Sanders' wife was in charge of small, private Burlington College in Vermont, it sank into debt.

This has the smell of David Brock all over it - if Sanders says he’s going all the way to the convention, Herman Cain him. If Sanders won’t listen to Hillary when she tells him to drop out her flying monkeys will target all the people around him until he finally understands.

from what is described it sounds like an institution that teaches kids how to be good little commies.

The killer was a case of real estate speculation creating a debt that recruiting couldn’t cover. Perhaps she should have given Donald Trump a call for advice.

I’ll bet she made a good income. Socialist leaders usually do live quite well. Does she have a fat pension?

Since this disgrace can’t be laid at the foot of Hitlery, it doesn’t do us much good.

Hang onto those Burlington College degrees people ... they will be worth money some day as rare oddities ... like interviews of Benghazi Clinton telling the truth.
