BURLINGTON COLLEGE FEELS THE BERN! BREAKING: Burlington College Closes Due To “Crushing Weight of Debt” Acquired By Jane Sanders. And note the confluence of players and events:

Burlington College announced today that it will close on May 27 after it found itself unable to recover from “the crushing weight of the debt” incurred under Jane O’Meara Sanders, the college’s former president and wife of Bernie Sanders.

At the end of 2010, Ms. Sanders took out $10 million in loans on behalf of Burlington College to purchase a 32-acre swathe of land from the Roman Catholic diocese, which put the land up for sale to help cover the costs of a $17 million sexual-abuse settlement.
