Fascinating since they basically tried to buy their way in vs carry their own weight.

He's a donor to Marc Rubio and Mitt Romney. Yup, pulling oneself up by ones own bootstraps.

Bill McGlashan has resigned from TPG and The Rise Fund, its $2 billion impact-investment platform he co-founded with U2’s Bono, Richard Branson and Jeff Skoll among others.

TPG is the majority owner of CAA and helped launch STX Entertainment among other Hollywood entities. It paid $225 million in equity for a majority stake in the Hollywood agency in 2014. He stepped down from the STX board on Wednesday.



58F. WILLIAM E. McGLASHAN, Jr. https://www.justice.gov/file/1142876/download

130.Defendant WILLIAM E. McGLASHAN, Jr. is a resident of Mill Valley, California. McGLASHAN is a senior executive at a global private equity firm.

131.As set forth below, McGLASHAN participated in both the college entrance exam cheating scheme and the college recruitement scheme, including by conspiring to bribe Donna Heinel, the senior associate athletic director at the University of Southern California (“USC”), to facilitate his son’s admission to USC as a recruited athlete.15

132.CW-1 has advised law enforcement agents that McGLASHAN agreed to make a purported donation of $50,000 to KWF, with the understanding that CW-1 would arrange for CW-2 to serve as a purported proctor for McGLASHAN’s son’s ACT exam at a test center that CW-1 “controlled,” and that CW-2 would, in exchange for money, correct his son’s answers after the test was completed.

Is he being put on the board instead? Another parent resigned but remained on the Board. What a crap of sh*t.

Which one?
I'm waiting on the friend from the USC Board of Trustees who had Loughlin's daughter on his yacht in the Bahamas to be investigated.

He has nothing to do with this.
He only started as trustee last year, which was AFTER the girls had already been accepted.

Something fishy on that yacht....

How the ACT/SAT cheating part was done is crazy. Mark Riddell, a 36 year old Harvard grad, would fly in to one of the cheating test sites in Texas or California. The students were told to tell the testing people they had to take the test there if they were not from the area that they had a bah mitzvah or something. Mark Riddell would either take the test for them, sit with them and tell them the answers while they took it, or change the answers for it. He did this for multiple tests including the subject tests.

Also applications were faked with made up sports and ethnicities. The girl who got into Georgetown had him take her tests and got a fake tennis history made up.

I hope they release all 700 names. Just follow the money. Most of the students knew. Also I don’t think future students should have to take these standardized tests. They are paying College Board for a test that only measures how well you can cheat.

Most don’t have priors. It might be a big public scandal, but legally, it’s relatively small potatoes in terms of criminal charges.

Are you kidding? The amount of schadenfreude it has provided to DCUMers alone is worth it.

They will be going after these families for tax fraud eventually so definitely worth it.

^^^^^


I mentioned Buckingham on page 92

Actually one of the co-conspirators (a test taker) was a Harvard grad.

#Truth

Yes, being a Harvard grad does not make one morally superior.

So before he became trustee because he had no contacts with anyone at USC regarding his daughters? News flash-trustees are chosen as trustees because they are well connected and rich, two things that would easily help his yacht loving kids.

You need a standardized test as part of the process-one of many factors considered. Otherwise people will be bribing teachers for As and parents will rally to get teachers kicked out if the teacher is too harsh a grader. It needs to be a multimodal assessment-standardized tests, grades, coursework level, extra curricular, essays, interviews. Essays can be faked much easier than standardized tests. Thanks to this scandal people will think twice before commiting fraud with tests.

This shows that colleges don't really verify these activities.
