Robert Shireman writes: It probably surprises no one that Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is not making sense, but her stands on key issues are starting to be noticed in the courts. And while DeVos would not usually be held personally liable for the harm she is doing to students, borrowers, or taxpayers, there is at least one exception: if she knowingly and improperly allocates taxpayer dollars. For that, she could be fined or possibly even imprisoned. And she is partway down that road as a result of her exuberant desire to funnel federal grants and loans to for-profit colleges regardless of their quality or behavior.
