Related: About this forumWhy don't they ask Clinton about Laureate Intl and their Predatory for Profit College
Clinton wrote in an email to a top aide that she wanted to add Laureate Education to the guest list for the event. Describing Laureate as the fastest growing college network in the world, Clinton said the company was started by Doug Becker who Bill likes a lot.
"It's a for-profit model that should be represented," she added in the August 2009 email. A senior vice president at Laureate was added to the guest list, a separate email shows.
Former President Bill Clinton several months later became an honorary chancellor for Laureate International Universities, a role for which he was paid $16.5 million between 2010 and 2014. Clinton stepped down from the position earlier this year.
REMEMBER: With the Clintons ALWAYS follow the money...

(1,580 posts)The Clintons are indicative of a lot of what is wrong with our country. They are in it for themselves and will do anything and say anything to get it - ala GOP.

(46,585 posts)It makes me FURIOUS that Bill Clinton earned $16.5 million advising the for-profit colleges how to rip off students and Hillary takes campaign money from them. They have ruined the lives of a good chunk of a generation of young people who will be paying off their debt til the end of time. My son is one of them.
