Reporter and of Trump University in particular. He is trying to scam america the way he scammed all those people at trump u. Reporter but it isnt just donald trump whos profited. For five years, bill clinton was the honorary chancellor of the biggest for Profit Education company in the world, Laureate Education inc. Not accredited and laureate is, bill clinton was paid an enormous fee. 7. 6 million over five years, visiting 19 campuses in 14 countries, the Clinton Foundation also got between 1 million and 5 million from laureate.

Reporter so they kept changing . Thats the part of the scam that were talking about. Reporter laureate tells us that their program is high quality, vigorous and challenging. And a 2012 Senate Report says walden was perhaps the best of any company examined. Laureate and walden declined to give us Graduation Rates for their Phd Candidates but pointed us to three students who were satisfied with their experiences, one who got his phd on a full scholarship. Is it possible that youre just not qualified to get a phd . Even then, they should have told us. You dont keep me here. You could have told me, youre not cut out for this, have a nice life. I have lost everything, i have nothing else to lose. Reporter what would you like bill clinton to know . That he can forgiveloans. He can do that, because i dont think he would want to be representative of something that is basically unfair or unethical. He cant give us back our years, but he can give us back our dignity.
