San Diego’s newest corporate darling, Bridgepoint Education
Sanders started at SDSU and dropped out. I understand he partied a lot. The classwork may have been too hard for him, too. =========== The stat I found intersting about San Diego State when I went there was that 75% of the students do not earn a degree. I cannot vouch for that number today, but in the mid 80's that is what it was. This was also the high point for State in enrollment-we had 38+K students back then, which at the time was the largest university in CA-both UC and CSU, and was also (I believe) the largest university on the west coast.— May 14, 2010 7:59 a.m.

Colleges like Ashford are not for everyone, but many benefit financially from what these colleges offer. By Burwell ====================== It is similar to National University then, in that the program is pretty much a joke, as well as the education you receive, which defeats the purpose of college.— May 13, 2010 8 p.m.
San Diego’s newest corporate darling, Bridgepoint Education
I would very much like to see changes in the recruiters' incentive structure at for-profit schools generally. I think that will alleviate a lot of problems with for-profits. ============= What you do with any school getting federal loans, ESPECIALLY "for profit", is stop the loan program if they have a default rate above 25% 5 years out......that would stop their worthless programs.....right now the gov only counts defaults during the first 2 years-and since it takes 9 months for a default to occur the real time period the gov counts defaults is the first 15 months...very biased. One reason the DoE does this is b/c the DoE and the student loan industry are revolving doors for each other, where the gov is not trying to protect and serve the public, but maximize profits for their cronies in the student loan industry-and by that extension themselves b/c that is where they end up, or come from.— May 13, 2010 7:59 p.m.
Bersin Unconvincing in Describing His Self-Confessed Goofs
If so, it's not the first mistake Obama has made. Look at..... Geithner ====================== The biggest mistake Obama has made is a toss up between Geitner and this clown; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ79Pt2GNJo— May 13, 2010 7:46 p.m.
Bersin Unconvincing in Describing His Self-Confessed Goofs
Bersin hired a lawyer who came up with the subcontractor thesis. ...He says he is sorry he listened to the advice =============== This was the exact same defense David Malcolm used when he was a member of the San Diego Board of Port Commissioners with that Duke power plant-the attorney gave him the wrong advice (but Malcolm was still convicted of felony conflict-of-interest laws while working as a $20,000-a-month consultant to Duke).— May 13, 2010 5:06 p.m.

And if Bersin wasn't the most politically connected Yahoo on the planet charges may have even been filed against him-like they would have been against everyday Joe....... But the day connected Yahoo's like Bersin are held accountable is the day pigs fly.— May 13, 2010 2:02 p.m.

I just read this in the LA TImes. Pretty funny. Also, Bersin is looking very very OLD, father time caught up with him Bigtime! http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/dcnow/2010/05/bor…— May 13, 2010 1:16 p.m.
She Wouldn't Listen to Me
I don't have any beef with you Grasca, I was just trying to point out some issues regarding the law and public figures-when for some reason the term troll was tossed around. My buddy "Just Wondering" (whom you quoted from) loves to call me that because he sees me as a threat to his pension scam-but that is just one person who is riding the scam of his life, out of the many here............— May 12, 2010 8 a.m.
She Wouldn't Listen to Me
"Yes, potentially, posting comments on the internet can lead to misunderstandings concerning the intent of the comment. And no matter what, I've come to understand that I'm going to piss SOMEONE off, regardless of my intentions otherwise." ========== Yes, going around posting comments calling names like troll and so forth might tend to have people respond back in a like manner. Same with going around makeing subtle threats of lawsuits to reporters, even while admitting such lawsuits would have no legal basis and would just be done for harrassment purposes.— May 12, 2010 7:54 a.m.
