Who is it that Betsy DeVos works for? Is it the American people who pay her salary? Is she doing anything to help the people who’ve been defrauded by fake schools like T rumpp U? ?
Betsy standing behind con-artists and fraudsters because students need to start out in life poorly educated and deeply in debt. What a giant joke. I wonder why she hates America.
It is funny, most of the time well connected but clueless rich people like DeVos take on a department like education out of a sense of obligation to do something good for the little people. Not Betsy. She is deeply devoted to her class and her class alone. That class needs more money and more money and more money. She is using her position as Education Secretary to help herself and her friends. She doesn’t even pretend to care about the little people.
There isn’t going to be a Hallmark Movie about Betsy.
Because for an ultra-rich American oligarch, it’s the Am. way.
Steve Gunderson, president and CEO of Career Education Colleges and Universities, the industry’s largest trade group, said for-profits have generally received a warm reception from Trump officials.
I know nothing about Mr. Gunderson, but I’m pretty sure William H. Macy should be cast in the role in the eventual film version of this debacle. I can already envision him fleeing the interview.
Btw, this story is long but fairly content-free. It’s all about the horse-race aspects of this and who might be winning, but leaves untouched the fact that fraud is ongoing. A little better reporting or editing from AP would be too much to expect.
What you did there, I see it,
Not all of these for-profit colleges are frauds. All of them are however Money Suckers. I have friends who attended them primarily due to time constraints (what times they could attend classes) and speed degree reasons (didn’t want to take any extra classes and wanted to be done and working quicker). They all seem satisfied with their education and have gotten jobs in their field. (these were all at one particular for-profit school). I had approached the same school about paralegal studies 2 yrs $32K and assured me before getting any information from me that we would be able to finance the cost, The local community college though not as flexible offered the same course of study for $6k.
