“Nathan Hornes, a defrauded student at the for-profit Corinthian Colleges chain, who was one of the first to initiate a debt strike that seven years later led to the Department of Education canceling all Corinthian loans, appeared at the Democratic National Convention last week. Kamala Harris played a role on both ends of Hornes’s story, shutting down Corinthian as attorney general of California, and helping get the loans finally canceled as vice president. But Hornes spoke a bit after Marc Morial, the former mayor of New Orleans. Morial in fact served on the board of Corinthian Colleges, the same one that ripped Hornes off, right up until it was shut down. That would be bad enough, but on the same night a second Corinthian Colleges board member, old foreign-policy hand Leon Panetta, delivered a speech.” (08/27/24)
