[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG  - USC trying to do damage control via TMZ...

"...On a different front, sources at USC familiar with the scandal tell us the University has known about the investigation for around 2 months, but they did not investigate ... because they didn't want to undermine the feds. Our sources say they've dealt with the U.S. Attorney's Office before, and they know if they conducted a simultaneous investigation it could tip off witnesses and targets, and result in the destruction of evidence.

[b]As for what USC will do with the students whose parents got them into the school via bribery, well-connected sources tell us the students will not all be evaluated the same way. We're told if the students knew they were admitted because of bribes, they will be expelled. If they were in the dark, the University will evaluate all of the circumstances and the decisions will be student-specific.[/b]

And[b], one final thing, as for USC ... we know officials are furious at the parents who engaged in bribery. They say it has tarnished the school, the students and the athletic programs.[/b]"[/quote]

Why be mad at the parents rather than being mad at the USC coaches/administrators/staff for accepting bribes? Maybe take a second look at the quality of who you are hiring.

They released a statement.

[quote]In response to the government’s findings, USC quickly tried to distance itself from Heinel and Vavic.

“We understand that the government believes that illegal activity was carried out by individuals who went to great lengths to conceal actions from the university,” USC’s statement continued. “USC is conducting an internal investigation.

“USC is in the process of identifying any funds received by the university in connection with this alleged scheme. Additionally, the university is reviewing its admissions processes broadly to ensure that such actions do not occur going forward.”[/quote][/quote]

BS. Its CYA time. No way a kid shows up for a crew placement after never having rowed a day in their life and not raised on flag. Even if the coach was bribed,  there wasn't one other person who saw this girl or saw other irregularities? Nonsense.  [/quote]

+1  There are different rules for rich white kids.  But sure, DCUM can continue to beat up on Asian kids who attend a Saturday prep class so they can try to get better test scores to compete with kids like this.[/quote]  This has nothing to do with being white and everything to do with being rich.  I have worked in the admissions process for several years and I 100% guarantee you that Caucasian and Asian kids alike have to score a lot higher, have higher grades and better overall resumes to be accepted to top schools than other ethnicities.
