THE CLINTON UNIVERSITY SCANDAL?

Cross-posted to 5 groups.

Everyone knows about the problems with Trump University. Trump 
should just be glad that Trump U didn’t have a Division I NCAA 
football team, or else he might well have Title IX complaints to 
go with the class action civil suit.

But did you know that Bill Clinton was a university chancellor? 
I didn’t either. There he is, over to the left. Moreover, he was 
paid $16 million by Laureate International Universities to be 
their “honorary” chancellor. Just think how much Slick Willie 
could have pulled down if he’d been a real chancellor. Just what 
is Laureate International University? It’s the parent company of 
Walden University, a mostly online, for-profit diploma mill that 
is facing the same kind of civil suits and fraud allegations as 
Trump University. Funny how the media seems to be uninterested 
in this story.

Jonathan Turley reports:

Laureate Education has been sued over such programs as its 
Walden University Online offering, which many have alleged is a 
scam designed to bilk students of tens of thousands of dollars 
for degrees. Students says that they were repeatedly delayed and 
given added costs as they tried to secure degrees, leaving them 
deeply in debt.

The respected Inside Higher Education reported that Laureate 
Education paid Bill Clinton an obscene $16.5 million between 
2010 and 2014 to serve as an honorary chancellor for Laureate 
International Universities. While Bill Clinton worked as the 
group’s pitchman, the State Department funneled $55 million to 
Laureate when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. That would 
seem a pretty major story but virtually no mainstream media 
outlet has reported it while running hundreds of stories on the 
Trump University scandal.

There was even a class action — like the Trump University 
scandal. Travis et al v. Walden University LLC, was filed in 
U.S. District Court in the District of Maryland but dismissed in 
2015. It is not clear why it was dismissed. However, the size of 
the contract to Clinton, the payment from State and the 
widespread complaints over alleged fraud should warrant a 
modicum of attention to the controversy. The controversy has 
many of the familiar complaints over fraudulent online programs 
that take advantage of hard working people.

Some of the disgruntled students have made claim about high 
pressure sales tactics and poor quality instruction that sound 
exactly like the complainants against Trump U.
