I think that one of the key points here is that he did get "something". He got course credit. The college felt that the work he was doing in industry was worth "something" towards his education (which it most certainly was). So he paid for course credit, did the "classwork" (internship), and got the credit he earned. If he had not gotten any course credit and was simply doing it for the experience, I'm not liking that situation. Surely, almost ANYTHING, people do for your business is worth minimum wage.
