A company named Dream Center Education Holdings petitioned the U.S. Department of Education to take over a chain of for-profit trade schools. DeVos approved.
When dozens of the Dream Center “colleges” closed a year later, thousands of students were left with no degree after paying in thousands in tuition. After the schools had lost accreditation, making their diplomas worthless, the school continued taking taxpayer supported financial aid from enrollees.
The head of the Education Department’s division of higher education is Diane Auer Jones, a former executive and lobbyist for for-profit colleges.
The corruption of this administration knows no bounds. Forget Mueller. Forget impeachment. Concentrate on what is happening down in the agencies. Publicize it. When people ask why you don’t like Trump, rub their noses in this kind of stuff.
