[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately this scandal will be forgotten soon and the schools will not end up changing much. Other side doors will open. The US seems ok with privilege due to wealth while bashing URM and first gen students for the small number of spots they take[/quote]

I think it's already forgotten. Does anyone post about the scandal in threads where these schools are mentioned? I saw Wake in a thread just the other day.

Georgetown
Stanford
UCLA
U San Diego
USC
UT Austin
Wake Forest
Yale[/quote]

Of course it's forgotten!  People understand this for what it is, a minuscule anomaly, and treat it as such.  Systemic issues - e.g. Asians being deprived of admission under "holistic bullcrap" pretenses - are systemic and are here to stay, and yeah, people want them gone.

In the Varsity Blues scenario, there's also the irony of how it's OK to bribe institutions but not OK to bribe one their minions which has people rolling their eyes.  If the crime was really that serious, why not throw these folks in jail for years and not a few weeks as was done?  If they had tried that every case would have been fought and the prosecution would have lost in a Jury trial. All it takes is one.  It was all a big joke! [/quote]
