Bill Clinton gobbled up $16.5M as an honorary chancellor of Laurette University, which defrauded students and the government. A drop in the bucket compared to the Clinton Foundation fraud, but it's FRAUD nevertheless.
Move over Trump University, because Hillary Clinton has her own fraud scandal involving higher education.

Laureate is a for-profit online college that received an unusually large amount of money from the U.S. State Department. This happened while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and after her husband Bill was named "honorary chancellor," a position that paid him $16.5 million over five years. His role included giving speeches around the world and lending his name to attract prospective students.
During the time, when Bill was acting as honorary chancellor, the U.S. State Department, under Secretary Clinton, gave Laureate Education a whopping $55 million in grants. Laureate Education had also received some grants under the George W. Bush administration, but the numbers exploded after the Clintons became involved....
