“Dream Center Education Holdings, a subsidiary of a Los Angeles-based megachurch, had no experience in higher education when it petitioned the federal Education Department to let it take over a troubled chain of for-profit trade schools. “
“But the organization’s chairman, Randall K. Barton, told the education secretary, Betsy DeVos, that the foundation wanted to “help people live better lives.” “
“The purchase was blessed despite Dream Center’s lack of experience and questionable finances by an administration favorable to for-profit education. Barely a year later, the company tumbled into insolvency, dozens of its colleges closed abruptly and thousands of students were left with no degree after paying tens of thousands of dollars in tuition. ( Included in the closures was the Art Institute of Seattle. )”
Medicynical note: Most Trump cabinet members either have dedicated their careers and lives to undermining the goals of their department and/ or are uniquely incompetent. DeVos is a sad amalgamation of both.
