University Sues Student For Graduating Early

"A student who attended a private German economics and business university is being sued by the school because he finished his degree too quickly. Marcel Pohl finished 60 exams in 20 months, completing 11 semesters worth of work in only 3. The school says it is due an extra €3,000 for lost income because, "its fees are the total price for the studies, independent of how long the studies last." "When I got the lawsuit, I thought it couldn't be true. Performance is supposed to be worth something," Pohl said.

As they don't seem to care about any ones Performance just the cash.

Which is exactly why the GOP is trying to slay public education:

0) billionaires want money back from housing crash
1) pay GOP to declare witch hunt on labor unions
2) without unions, drop teacher wages to poverty level
3) teachers quit, go work at McDonalds
4) public panics. state says "we'll save you". privatized education.
5) private school raises tuition. billionaire can now afford Cuban cigars and Corinthian leather asswipe.
