insiders call trum u. a lie and a fraudulent scheme

[dherd]

the news media is lying on Donald trump.

One sales manager for Trump University, Ronald Schnackenberg, recounted how he was reprimanded for not pushing a financially struggling couple hard enough to sign up for a $35,000 real estate class, despite his conclusion that it would endanger their economic future. He watched with disgust, he said, as a fellow Trump University salesman persuaded the couple to purchase the class anyway.

“I believe that Trump University was a fraudulent scheme,” Mr. Schnackenberg wrote in his testimony, “and that it preyed upon the elderly and uneducated to separate them from their money.”

Mr. Nicholas concluded, was “a facade, a total lie.”

Ms. Sommer recalled that a member of the Trump University sales team, who had previously sold jewelry, was promoted to become an instructor. He had “no real estate experience,” she said.

She added that many of the instructors had the quality that the school seemed to value most: “They were skilled at high-pressure sales,” she said.

Well if Mr Shnackenberg says so I guess it is.

Same could be said for most colleges. They pursue kids who are not college material and who have to borrow all the money to attend. Also, most of their professors have zero real world experience in the subjects they teach.

well, well - we have a couple of candidates for TRUMP U.
“and that it preyed upon the elderly and uneducated to separate them from their money.”

Well dherd, tell me what is incorrect about my comment.

 

[dherd]

sorry to burst your bubble, but nothing you said was correct. not a
single thought had any basis in fact.

Sorry to,burst your bubble, but:

1. Only 55% of kids that started college in 2008 had a degree six years later, latest data available. So schools recruit and admit a whole lot of kids that are either not college material or they do not do a proper job of keeping them on track to earn a degree (which allows them to milk more money out of them).

2. 7 out of 10 of those that did manage to get a degree had student loan debt with the average being just under $30,000. So yes, schools recruit and admit an inordinate amount of students who can't afford college.

3. Over 75% of college professors, excluding medical and law schools, have never held a private sector job in the field of study that they teach. For most the track is undergrad, masters, phd., then straight to teaching.

So, in reality, everything I said was true.

you didn't cite any facts so here are a few for you. btw when reading this I
think we all know which group trump u. falls under.



The 2013 6-year graduation rate for first-time, full-time undergraduate students who began their pursuit of a bachelor's degree at a 4-year degree-granting institution in fall 2007 was 59 percent. That is, 59 percent of first-time, full-time students who began seeking a bachelor's degree at a 4-year institution in fall 2007 completed the degree at that institution by 2013.

Among first-time, full-time undergraduate students who began seeking a bachelor's degree at a 4-year degree- granting institution in fall 2007, the 6-year graduation rate was 58 percent at public institutions, 65 percent at private nonprofit institutions, and 32 percent at private for-profit institutions. The 6-year graduation rate was 56 percent for males and 62 percent for females; it was higher for females than for males at both public (60 vs. 55 percent) and private nonprofit institutions (68 vs. 62 percent). However, at private for-profit institutions males had a higher graduation rate than females (36 vs. 28 percent).

Six-year graduation rates for first-time, full-time students who began seeking a bachelor's degree in fall 2007 varied according to institutions' level of selectivity. In particular, graduation rates were highest at postsecondary degree-granting institutions that were the most selective (i.e., had the lowest admissions acceptance rates), and graduation rates were lowest at institutions that were the least selective (i.e., had open admissions policies). For example, at 4-year institutions with open admissions policies, 34 percent of students completed a bachelor's degree within 6 years. At 4-year institutions where the acceptance rate was less than 25 percent of applicants, the 6-year graduation rate was 89 percent.
btw I did not cherry pick these figures as you did - they just happened to be the first I found.
one more thing all the professors I had at marshall had private sector experience particularly accts, attrnys.
exceptions would be English profs etc.
