I think asking money for certificates of completion is disingenious, as is charging for textbooks. It says in the article that the founders see education as a right, that means it should be absolutely free. 'exploit-the-students' kind of money can be an arbitrarily low amount, depending on the circumstances of the students, who could be in fugitive camps in somalia for all anyone knows. Instead, the obvious way to make money is to make it where the money is, the industry. This is how student organisations in The Netherlands make money, and I bet it's like that elsewhere too. Why not sell information about what student has what capabilities, or even contact with the student in the form of job adverts or whatever? I can see that as a nearly unbounded source of revenue, and in the process hurting noone and helping everyone.
