   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.
