46. Great. So Let's talk more about JANE SANDERS.

Wed Dec 9, 2015, 06:29 AM

Dec 2015

How she managed to get a job as Burlington College President with an online PHD from a program that was de-certified soon after she graduated -- and only a year and a half of college-level work experience.

How a trustee at the college said they hired her after her presentation to the board convinced them that her connections to Bernie would help them raise money.

How she actually raised money by applying for millions in loans -- based on millions of dollars in pledges that failed to materialize. (Including one future bequest for a million dollars that she falsely reported as a current pledge at the rate of $150K per year.)

How the majority of the staff protested her decision to fire a faculty member who had been named teacher of the year just a year previously. And when asked why she had no grievance procedure for faculty, she claimed she didn't need one . . . because it was a college, not a university.

Can you imagine? Arguing against a college having a grievance procedure?

And this wonderful lady is supposed to be one of Bernie's chief advisors.

Clinton supporters might want to say that he and Chelsea are off limits. I disagree. NYC_SKP May 2015 #3

I tend to think that Clinton supporters know what's coming. JoePhilly May 2015 #4

AFAIK, Hillary has never associated herself with Chelsea's Wall Street or media jobs merrily May 2015 #5

Good point, however there are parallels. NYC_SKP May 2015 #28

Great. So Let's talk more about JANE SANDERS. pnwmom Dec 2015 #46

Not even going to read your bs. J. Sanders was never sold as Sanders' co-Senator or any of things merrily Dec 2015 #47

Jane Sanders hasn't been in a position yet where she could do really serious damage. pnwmom Dec 2015 #48

LOL! Speaking of playing fast and loose with the truth..... merrily Dec 2015 #49

That's what you're always accusing the Clintons of. Clintons, meet Jane Sanders. pnwmom Dec 2015 #50
