Burlington College, which had been crushed beneath weight of the property purchase made in 2010 while Jane Sanders was college president, will close at the end of the month, the college confirmed on Monday.[/quote]

Oh no... What's gonna happen to the other college students that have yet to complete their courses? Sure, their credits may transfer, but what about tuition expenses? Are they going to be refunded for anything?

This is going to be pretty awful propaganda for those that are anti-Sanders. A university closing down because Sanders' wife made a bad deal and got too far into debt.. It's like poetry, and I'm a Sanders supporter.

We are heading into the end of this campaign and honestly the Hillary campaign hasn't been focusing on Sanders much anymore.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;50335534]is trump or hilary in the center of the circle? [/QUOTE] Neither; they're apart of the circle because the circle is the establishment. Bernie is in the center cause hes the outcast.

This is sad... I just worked with their design students last year
