Andre Copeland enrolled at Decker College to study heating and air conditioning repair. But he says most of his classroom work consisted of tests, sometimes with the answers given, and there was no hands-on training during the 10 months he was enrolled.

Dale Michael Brown signed up at Decker to study electrical work but says he never ever met a real electrician.

And a former instructor at Decker says he was told to set up fake workshops filled with lumber and tools to fool inspectors from the accrediting agency.

Decker, a for-profit trade school run by former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, is now closed, mired in bankruptcy proceedings and under FBI investigation in a case that has cast a long shadow over Weld's bid to become the next governor of New York.

2. I'm guessing Weld is a repub?

only because they don't state his party affiliation. Otherwise, it would read: Democratic Gov. Weld's is under FBI investigation...
