Wow. She was really on top of that! 🙄
The US Dept of Irony is looking into Betsy Devos investigating people buying their way into things...
wgbhnews Boy she jumped right on that, didn't she?
In sure she’ll just take “donations” for herself
Watch to see how far back it goes.
gevh59 Only liberals could make ITT Tech look honest
So she's going to look into this, but she has rolled back the restrictions on student loans, civil rights protections, etc. Too little, WAY too late.
😆
Much to Betsy's dismay, I'm sure, this investigation was opened -- i mean, after all, these are her people -- rich white dopes -- and they SHOULD get these seats, they have a divine right to them....in Bets' mind
She didn't get her cut....
Can’t wait to find out that DeVos is probably one of them.
Its about time they did something right
Big Education needs to be held accountable...
Her first questions... 'How could you be so stupid as to get caught' 'We never get caught and now everyone knows how we cheat...how could you ?' RichPriviledgeJustIsNotAmerican
Is this the main policy position that she was trying to institute?
But that’s Devos’ version of school choice
Betsy DeVos: “What’s going on? I was selling Amway products.”
Rich lady is gonna hold other rich ladies accountable for bribes. Sure. Let's see that unfold.
So they have nothing to worry about then.
Next - figure out how Ivanka got her WH job.
About time. I’m being raked over the coals by college debt for trying to do the right thing for my daughter who can excel at school. It’s a shame when I work in IT and still struggle to pay for college along with my daughter and get nothing but low credit scores when trying

I’m guessing Betsy wants to reward them for their capitalist ingenuity.
It won’t matter because when the people investigating are more crooked than you, you’ll get the pass. Trust me. This is all cyclical.
“Betsy Devos takes control of the college admissions scandal to scrub her own family members from any records.” Seeing as she’s a billionaire and all.
Oh great.....fox......henhouse, same old story.
We need to close Yale until we can figure out what's going on
Corrupt country index must be loving all of this

More wealthy parents under scrutiny by prosecutors in college admissions scandalSeveral parents who haven't been previously charged, and their attorneys, have been informed they are the subject of the federal inquiry, sources say.

College admissions scandal: Can USC’s cautious new leader be the crusader it needs?As chancellor of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Carol L. Folt was seen as a cautious leader. Now, she becomes the first female president of USC at a time when scandals have dominated the headlines. They drummed her out of the UNC system for being too passive. She doesn't look yachty like Lori's daughter. Good luck, lady. I recently subscribed to the LaTimes to follow some of your excellent reporters, not for these endless pieces about USC. Enough already. From UNC to USC, makes perfect sense to me.
