Vermont college that Bernie Sanders’s wife once led is closing

Burlington College, a small Vermont private school once led by the wife of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, said Monday it will close later this month, citing “the crushing weight” of debt incurred during her presidency.

----------

What if Bernie puts her in charge of "revitalizing" the economy.

Told you the press refuses to vett him. They just LUV him too much.

Remind me again what office Jane Sanders is running for.

The same office Bill Clinton is running for.

Now we know why Bernie refuses to release his tax returns.

Except he did, almost a month ago.

Again, what office is Jane Sanders running for?

He release ONE year from a couple of years ago. That's not returns with an "s".

You're crazy enough to think there's something about this college in his tax returns?

btw, the college went under because of declining enrollments under a subsequent president.

We would find out exactly how big the payout was to make her go away.

Yes......Bernie Sanders supporters who attend Burlington college are learning how Bernies economic plans work........borrow money to pay for things you can't afford, then the socialists extract a 200,000 dollar severance package as the college closes......

Heard about this on Dan and Amy this morning...

Bernies wife ran Burlington college...and used his theories to borrow millions of dollars to buy land they didn't need......after putting the college in the red, she quit, took 200,000 dollars in severance pay......and now, because of the debt she created, the college is closing.....

This story was just about the debt she created...I have to find the part where the college is closing....

What happened at Sanders U.

Jane Sanders took the helm in 2004 after having a successful year as interim president at Goddard College, in rural Plainfield, Vermont, and working in various roles for her husband. In an interview with the Burlington Free Press at the time, she cited building enrollment and expanding the school’s small endowment as priorities. The college adopted a plan to offer more majors and graduate-degree programs, renovate its campus and grow enrollment a couple of years later. And in 2010, Sanders and the board went further:She brokered a deal to buy a new plot of lakefront land with multiple buildings from the Roman Catholic Diocese to replace the college’s cramped quarters in a buildingthat used to house a grocery store.The college used $10 million in bonds and loans to pay for the campus, according to reports by the Burlington Free Press.

“People are worried about student debt, but this is one of the reasons that college costs go up,” Holt said. “Because every college wants a new campus — and students get charged for that.”

Sanders and the board of trustees hoped alumni donations and expanding the student body would help pay off the debt. But enrollment in the years that followed didn’t rise much, and fundraising efforts fell short.

Sanders resigned in 2011 after months of debate about the college with its board, but neither Sanders nor the college gave a specific reason for her departure.

--------------

In 2015, Burlington College sold most of the lakefront property acquired under Jane Sanders’ tenure,keeping 6 acres and the main building where it holds classes. As the sale was being negotiated, the college was $11.4 million in debt and its interim president told independent newspaper Seven Days that Burlington College had $300,000 in unpaid bills — many of them more than 90 days old — and wasn’t in a position to meet the payments on its debt for the year. Enrollment has not grown as prior presidents hoped, and the college recently froze tuition, then announced it will reduce it.



Yes.....let's allow these people to run our economy....

After this primary season, Bernie supporters need to remember that voting for Hillary out of a misguided sense of party loyalty will simply ensure that the next Bernie will also have no chance.

I'm sorry for Burlington; it's a nice small city and the impact of the college closing will be felt by many.
But hadn't you heard that MANY colleges have struggled and are facing closing their doors? It's not about Jane Sanders or Bernie's socialism. Things are bad everywhere.

It is about the policies of his wife....they cratered that school...

Not understanding how money works must be one of those things that they share together as a couple.

The press refuses to vett ANY democrat candidate, or weren't you aware? Trump? He gets an army of MSM looking at him. Hillary or Bernie? Just chuckles.

Sanders' wife isn't running for president.

No, she isn't. But her husband is and that makes HER part of the equation. However, I would tell you this - as a man that has been married to the same woman for the last 51 years. The Wife and the Husband, in case you weren't aware, are usually simpatico. If she is too stupid to run a simple College - odds are - her husband is too stupid to run a nation of 320 million people. Sorry - just the way it is.

I wouldn't trust her decisions any more than I would trust Trump's Wife - but Trump doesn't include her in "business' decisions. She is there as eye candy and nothing else.

You sit in front of a computer. Don't you know how to use Google? Or are you just stupid?

It's official, Hillary Clinton gets by far the most negative press and the least positive.
