You may recall — I have been particularly critical about for-profit educational institutions for preying on lower quality students and soak them with debt to enrich the executives at these universities. Here is a great revelation by a pimp for these Fraudversities (another Freudian slip).

From Times of India:
Chiranjeevi, who leads the Praja Rajyam Party in Andhra Pradesh, filled up a form seeking primary membership of the Congress and the AICC headquarters in the presence of Gandhi and senior leaders.

As in the case of Tri-Valley University, about 90% of the students who are affected by this action by the Feds are Indians, and a vast majority of them are from Andhra Pradesh. In this particular case, I beg to differ from the standard line of excuse: ignorance or innocence. We all know the maxim: ignorantia legis neminem excusat (ignorance of the law excuses no one.)
