"If they load students up with debt for programs that don't lead to good paying jobs, students and taxpayers should not be the only ones left holding the bag," said Clinton.

She has also slammed her opponent for the problems at his namesake school. Said Clinton, "Donald Trump is trying to scam America the way he scammed all those people at Trump University!"

But Trump isn't the only one who has profited. Over five years, former president Bill Clinton earned $17.6 million from the world's largest for-profit education company, Laureate Education, Inc.

In his role as "honorary chancellor," Clinton has traveled the world on Laureate's behalf, extolling the virtues of the school.

Some two dozen former and current students at Laureate's flagship school in the U.S. -- an online, for-profit school called Walden University -- told NBC News they feel victimized by the kind of practices Clinton has promised to fight.

A 2015 study found Walden students had compiled the second-highest debt load of any school in the U.S.

According to tax returns released by the Clinton campaign, the Clintons earned a total $22 million from for-profit education companies. Laureate's paychecks to Bill Clinton made up the bulk of that, with $17.6 million going to Clinton in his role as honorary chancellor from 2010 to 2015.

He quit that role 12 days before Hillary announced her run for president. A spokesperson told NBC News Tuesday that his five-year contract expired at that time.
