Walden is the U.S. flagship of Laureate Education, which paid “honorary chancellor” Bill Clinton $17.6 million over five years before he stepped down in 2015 just ahead of wife Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign run.

Elizabeth Talbot, manager of Institutional Legislation and Licensing at the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, said the agency is conducting “a qualitative and a quantitative analysis” of student complaints and comparing it to Walden’s marketing materials.

“I want to make sure the proof is in the pudding that their marketing claims match with student outcome,” Talbot said.

“Is it a policy issue, a culture issue or is it something more nefarious? And we don’t know until we complete the program review.”

She said that after the NBC News report in August, there was an increase in the number of individuals contacting her office and the state Attorney General’s office about Walden.
