[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the sketch artist Lori Loughlin looked arrogant in court. Who is advising her? Apparently Huffman was much more appropriate in her presentation: embarrassed, ashamed, cowering, etc.

I just can't get over how cheap and stupid they were. When you want to pay to play, you do it the legal way and shell out multi-millions. Pretty sure they would have gotten a legal tax deduction for that too even though they would have received college entrance in exchange. At least that way not only is it legal, but you contribute to society in a decent way and may help others.[/quote]

Donating to get you dumb kid into college shouldn’t be legal. It’s not much better than what they did. [/quote]

I disagree. You like having a gorgeous campus with beautiful buildings? Rick people with dumb as rocks kids pay for a lot of that. Those kids come and make the atmosphere lighter and less intense and they are happy to be at the bottom. Look at high schools like TJ where everything is based on smarts only. You have way too many kids thinking about suicide and/or suffering signs of mental illness because they cannot handle being in the bottom half. Kids who's parents donate millions are happy as can be to party their way into the bottom with a smile on their face and some beer in their hands.[/quote]

In the words of plenty of posters on here, they still took someone’s spot. What about the poor student whose parents couldn’t afford to donate. Now they have to go to a public college and never succeed. And you cannot speak for every college about the rich kids there. There are plenty wasting everyone’s time and taking up a space that could’ve went to a student who actually wants to be there. There are plenty who are stressed bc their parents expect results and for them to follow in their steps. There are plenty partying and making poor decisions that are effecting other students lives.

It doesn't mean your child would get in even if these kids didn't go.  The difference is this was paid to individuals profiting from it and they were lying to get kids admitted, not rich parents donating lots of money to a school to get the kids in.  I think its ok to donate lots of money to a private school to get your kid accepted, but not a publicly funded one.  Reality is that is how the world works and that's how things get paid for.[/quote]

Reality is that ppl find ways to go around the system. Donating is one of those ways and it doesn’t make it right. [/quote]

Colleges are businesses.  They are out to make money even if they are non-profit.  Just like private schools, PTA's and more, they rely on donations.  [/quote]

And bribes. [/quote]
