Clinton's For Profit University preys on minority nations

Bill Clinton is Chancellor of this for profit university. Bill Clinton Profits from World’s Largest For-Profit Universit.

Tax Returns show the Clinton's were paid $16.5 million from the largest for profit university in the world.

"Since 2010, Bill Clinton brought in just short of $16.5 million for his role as honorary chancellor of Laureate Education, a for-profit college company. He left the position earlier this year weeks after his wife launched her campaign.
In 2014, Bill Clinton made $9 million off of paid speeches and $6.4 million in consulting fees.

Of that, $4.3 million came from Laureate and another $2.1 million from GEMS Education, a Dubai-based company that runs preschool and K-12 programs. He made less from those two gigs in previous years – $5.6 million in 2013 and $4.7 million in 2012. In 2011, the former president was paid $2.5 million by Laureate, $500,000 by GEMS and $100,000 by Teneo Holdings, a firm co-founded by former Clinton aide Doug Band."

"They have turned education into a commodity that focuses more on profit than knowledge,” says Robson Leite, the Rio state legislator who led the probe."

"Laureate has stirred controversy throughout Latin America, where it derives two-thirds of its revenue. In October, Chile’s National Accreditation Commission voted to strip accreditation from one of the company’s schools, Santiago-based Universidad de Las Américas, or UDLA.

In its decision, the commission wrote that, since 2010, UDLA’s academic standards have suffered as it has added almost 10,000 students while reducing the number of full- and half-time teachers to 399 from 408. Graduation rates were as low as 15 percent in some majors."

"The company used the same tactics to establish a presence in Turkey, where for-profit colleges are also banned. Since taking control of Istanbul Bilgi University, Laureate has boosted its enrollment by 44 percent, to more than 12,000 students, and raised its tuition by more than 50 percent to $14,000. A round of staff cuts in 2011 prompted protests from faculty holdovers, who unsuccessfully tried to form a union.

‘Needs of the students’
Becker says he started Laureate because traditional colleges weren’t serving their customers.

“I found that most universities were inward-looking and focused on the needs of the staff and faculty,” he said, “and not so much focused on the needs of the students.”

Though Becker’s glasses and dark suit make him look like a banker, he speaks in a gentle tone, like a kindergarten teacher. His only hobbies, he says, are spending time with his two young children and chairing nonprofits, such as the International Youth Foundation.

A Baltimore native, Becker started his first business when he was in high school, while working at a ComputerLand store with his friend Christopher Hoehn-Saric. The duo conceived of a swipe card that could store patients’ medical records. They sold the idea to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Maryland for an undisclosed amount in 1985. Becker was 19.

After buying Porsches, Becker and Hoehn-Saric started a small investment firm, Sterling Partners. In the early 1990s, they took a stake in tutoring chain Sylvan Learning Systems, then owned by KinderCare Learning Centers, and took it public."

So, Anderson Cut to Commerical as soon as this sorry came up.😂

Well..this literally won't do anything to the Clinton's though. It's unfortunate, but true. Trump can say anything he wants and get away with it. The Clinton's can undertake any shady practice they want and nobody will really talk about it.

Must be that pesky war being waged on Hilary, right?

You really dont think a scandal like this which is a million times worse then Trump university, literally that involves robbing entire countries and putting hundreds of thousands of people in debt through high pressure sales, and one of which the clintons made $16.5 million a year on wont do anything?

I think it depends on how the media handles it. But I don't find it a good sign that the first I heard about this was on a forum.

I mean here let me give an example: my homepage is Comcast.net because I get my internet from Comcast and I have an email address with them. On their homepage they have various news. When Trump was accused of pretending to be the publicist..that story was in their "Top News" section. This stuff with Clintons? Isn't anywhere to be found.

Lol I just went onto the page now, the very first "Top News" story is about Trump attacking a Mexican Judge over a lawsuit with his university lol.

It was reported on by Bloomberg and the Washington Times, it was brought up last night, but as I said, Anderson Cooper went straight to commercial as soon as it came up.

Which is strange because Anderson has gone after Hilary before so why would he avoid it? Unless they got to him.

But yeah like I said on comcast right now the top stories have to do with Donald Trump. Oh there is a story about the death of a homeless man. Oh and one about how airport lines are improving lol.

This university has enslaved hundreds of thousands of people into debt. It's school in San Diego charges people $8000 a quarter..

That's $32k a year. And most of these people don't have jobs when they get out.

Libs won't say much on here except attack you

What can you really say though, it was reported on by two liberal media sources, backed up by tax returns.

they can spin anything bro

There is no way to spin this though, not a single way.

Nothing to look at here just more corruption

I just laugh at the fact Bill made 9 million bucks in one year doing speeches. Who the f*ck wants to hear what Bill Clinton has to say THAT badly? Who wants to hear what anyone has to say that badly? I wonder how much actual good could of been done with that 9 mil.

I love it when people act like they are truly passionate about certain issues while at the same time asking for shitloads of money to talk about these issues. Reminds me of Bristol Palin being paid money to give talks about abstinence lol. That is like Bill being paid to talk about how important it is to remain faithful in a marriage. It's like Hilary getting paid to make a speech about the merits of honesty.

Bro it's not about the speeches. Did you read the links? They ripped off hundreds of thousands of students.

Yes they did, but as people have been saying the entire election..Trump can do anything and get away with it.

After all Hilary and Bill are suffering drastic consequences over this thing. I just wish the media would stop talking at length about all the shady things the Clinton's did. I'm tired of hearing about the corruption of them in the media and yet I needed to scour the entire internet just to find a single story about Trump apparently posing as his own publicist 25 years ago. That story should of been something everyone talked about and yet I heard nary a peep about it.
