What happened at Sanders U. When Bernie Sanders' wife was in charge of small, private Burlington College in Vermont, it sank into debt.

Politico reports:
When Jane Sanders was in charge of a small private college in Vermont for seven years, it sank deep into debt while trying to expand its campus. Many students took out tens of thousands of dollars in loans to attend, but their investment was questionable: Only a third of former Burlington College students earn more than the average person with a high school diploma.

Jane Sanders’ husband, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, has offered a higher-education plan that would make tuition at public colleges free. But it would do little to prod colleges, public or private, to keep costs down or ensure that a college degree is worthwhile for graduates.


Just think about much lower tuition could be if Comrade Sanders' wife knew something about investing.
