Laureate-affiliated universities under fire in Chile
Launching a far-reaching investigation into profit-making by private universities will be top priority for Nicolas Eyzaguirre, who is due to become Michelle Bachelet's education minister when she is sworn in as Chile's President on 11 March.
Professor Victor Perez, rector of Universidad de Chile - the country's largest public university - has repeatedly summoned outgoing minister Carolina Schmidt to carry out 'a formal and in-depth' enquiry into the way America's Laureate Education Inc entered and operates in Chile. Finally, on 19 February, Schmidt announced that she would be investigating four universities, on top of two other processes that were already underway.
The universities include two of Laureate's affiliates - Universidad de las Americas or UDLA, and Universidad Andres Bello or UNAB - which are suspected of having violated a law that forbids profit-making in higher education.

So, the Clintons are operating in multiple countries in violation of laws there as well as at home?
Ernesto Zedillo, the former president of Mexico, has been named a Presidential Counselor by Laureate International Universities, the world’s leading higher education network. In his new role, President Zedillo will advise Laureate and its more than 80 institutions on academic innovation, and private and public sector collaboration to increase access to higher education.
Pictures of Clinton line a walkway at Laureate’s Bilgi University in Istanbul. Photos of him also hang outside the rector’s office, along with images of Becker and Turkey’s prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
In 2010, Laureate’s UEM gave an honorary degree to Erdogan.
Laureate has installed several people from Clinton’s administration in key executive and board positions, including Richard Riley, the former secretary of education; Joseph Duffey, the former head of the U.S. Information Agency; and Henry Cisneros, who served as Clinton’s secretary of housing and urban development.

At the rate things are going, you could likely find a scandal for every day of the year for that pair. Funneling money to Bill, from a lousy college that takes any and all, just for profit. But, no! Look at Trump!!
How anyone can support this woman, I can't imagine.

They don't care. Crooked Hillary may be a crook...but she's THEIR crook.
Laureate’s investors include Soros Fund Management LLC, chaired by billionaire progressive leftist George Soros; SAC Capital Advisors LP, a hedge fund that recently settled insider trading allegations to the tune of $1.2 billion; and KKR, a private-equity firm based in New York.
For-Profit Colleges Encourage Huge Student Debt
The biggest borrower on the list is Walden University, whose grad students borrowed $756 million last year, according to the CAP report. Walden is owned by Laureate Education, a for-profit education company that hopes to go public next year. This seems to be a profitable enterprise, at least for its CEO.
George Soros backing student loan protests
Gainor pointed out that much of the push for government intervention could be traced back to liberal billionaire George Soros. “Higher education is run by the left in this country. We’ve got the government funding these low interest loans, which have enabled high education to, you know, skyrocket in cost. So now, they’ve got this problem where student loan debt, as you said, is at a trillion dollars.
