[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure we have a big problem here. Universities try to get people to apply and they accept the group of students that they want. Their decision can be based on grades, accomplishments, diversity and, of course, cold hard cash.

I think the complaint in this case was that William Rick Singer was cheating the system by taking money that should go to the schools and not really sending them the students they thought they were getting.

He was cutting in on their business! [/quote]

Universities are non-profit organizations, and pay no taxes. They are "charities". I wouldn't want to see them become for profit organizations, since this would involve shareholders who would certainly not support the entity's mission (only their own hope for earnings on their investment). But universities are huge money making businesses with a legal structure that removes that money making process from having to pay taxes, even though they use lots of public resources. Since the public is not allowed to share in all the money that's made in this huge industry, can't we at least trust that they are honest and providing the education services they profess to provide? It's all such a huge scam and the public does pay the price. So, yes, we do have a big problem here.[/quote]
