Is this college admissions scandal just a little too perfect?

No, I buy it. I am sure there is more of this happening.

The elite get the elite degree yet will not be able to function .

I’m almost certain this isn’t an isolated thing... The love of money is the root of ALL evil.

Cracks me up...it is ok to get special consideration for being an athlete, a minority member, or a woman. Even a foreign exchange student....but heaven forbid you get consideration for being wealthy. Colleges run on wealthy donors contributing endowments etc.….do you really think they didn't expect their kids to be taken care of? How about legacy admissions? You know, if your parent graduated from the school the kid gets special considerations for admissions.

The outrage is because this group of rich people just paid a middleman and didn't bribe in the correct manner....er I mean endow.

It is all nonsense and ALL admissions should be merit based.

supposedly this came to light while investigating some other fraud.

but you have to wonder

conspiracy theories aren't just for the whachos any more

here's a thought I had: wonder how they voted in the last election - and more importantly - which campaigns they contributed to

Nope, the elite have had their way for far too long.

It's chum well applied if you ask me! I'm sick of the preferential treatment offered to the rich and useless--especially when they're fucking liberal, haute boheme hypocrites.

I just wonder why everyone is so shocked. I always just assumed that's how most of the rich kids got into university 🤷‍♂️

No? It’s pretty much common knowledge most students that have wealthy parents get into more selective universities than others. This isn’t an isolated incident and shit like this has been going on forever. It would make sense if you went to an Ivy League school and saw how many dumb and incompetent students go there all because of their parents legacy admissions or from them donating to the school.

colleges benefitted from the money
what will they do without the bribe money?

Agreed. Sooooo much. Your word imagery describing it is equally perfect.

its a low blow but its also a low story.
a tragicomedy of misplaced values.
