The college didn't institute this bribery scandal. It was the personal who lined their pockets and the parents who paid them off.

All of the individuals need to go to jail. [/quote]


The admissions policies at these schools — pay for play with wealthy donors— encourages this type of abuse. Get rid of preference for athletes and legacies. [/quote]


Yes, this! Why is donating money for an academic building okay, or sponsoring an academic chair, to get your child admitted legal? Isn’t that bribery? Pull their tax free status, as they sit on millions (billions now?) of dollars of endowments. I’m looking at you Harvard.

+1. It’s funny to see people splitting hairs and explaining why it’s fine to donate a building to get your mediocre kid into an elite school but you get arrested for paying money to individuals to help your mediocre kid get into school. Sounds like the elite colleges just want to make sure the money for bribes only goes to them.[/quote]

It gives blacks a larger pool of 'leadership class' and accelerates more of them into the top 5% while also giving incentives to umc whites to vote to raise taxes to fund public secondary and tertiary education more since now they are more likeyl to go there.

Not the way affirmative action is being done today where professional black families are getting the benefit. I say economic affirmative action is what is needed -poverty knows no race - help every kid that needs it

Yes, affirmative action is terrible unless whites can benefit. A principled stance.

Professional black families? You mean the ones that are working their way up the past few generations of poor racial inequality from the previous generations that came from slavery. How dare they? Why should they have any benefits? Geez. Only whites from enherited riches of past generations should get benefits. Working professionals of color? They are lucky they have a job, right PP. Those poor white kids with meth parents deserve it more because they are white and poor. I mean, do you reread what you type?

Talk about being in a state of cognitive dissonance.

Yes, that's the case and everyone knows where the line is. If you're too cheap to pay the school bribe, making the illegal person-to-person bribe will get you jail time AS IT SHOULD.

I can have marijuana in certain states but I know if I take it to say...South Carolina and inhale in front of a cop, I'm going to prison. AS IT SHOULD BE.

I'm waiting for a full list as more names come out. I'm from West Los Angeles. This is going to be even better than the Ashley Madison list!

And I'm simply blown away by the brazenness of this story. If you're saying your child is a pole vaulter, and your child has never seen a pole, wouldn't you be worried that the scheme will blow up in your - and even worse, in your child's - face?
But I'm not a loaded "TV executive" from LA, so I wouldn't know.
