The for-profit university industry has notoriously defrauded mostly poor young people, often post-military, and minority students, seducing them with tuition loans and empty promises of jobs and quality education, and burdening them with debt. As a condition for keeping their student loan authority, an appalled President Obama compelled these institutions to submit to independent accreditation – which they spectacularly failed. Trump’s Secy. of Education, the notorious Betsy DeVos, has now reversed independent accreditation requirements, dismantled investigations of the abusive “schools”, killed rules that enabled defrauded students to contest their debts, and brazenly hired a herd of industry executives and lobbyists to run enforcement and administration of these programs. As Trump and Republican candidates enjoy millions of the industry’s campaign dollars, you may ask: Who epitomized this fraud? None other than Trump University!
