Do you think the students....
Of the college admission scheme should be kicked out of college because their parents bribed and defrauded the system?

@Picklebobble2 yeah, no kidding... greed and bribery runs rampant. It doesn’t have to be a prestigious college for this to happen.

@Spokeskitties75 True, it may give the Ivy League players a bloody nose, but also some of the others too !
.....Actually this probably runs true for many UK Universities too !
Too many Alma Mata make it into areas of high finance banking and company directorships having 'bought' their degree.

@Picklebobble2 I’m sure it happens in the U.K. as well! Not that privilege and title and education mean less in the US than in the U.K., but I think there is probably more pressure in the U.K. to uphold the family legacy to the highest standard more than in the US.

I think it should be left up to the university leadership to decide...and I can't imagine they'd ever let them stay. Sure the student might have excelled even though they got in fraudulently but how they got in I think invalidates it from the get go. They got in while someone that fairly went through the process didn't get in. I think the backlash would be quite negative if they kept them enrolled.

@SW-User I agree. It’s a shame to the ones that really didn’t know... which I think is very few tbh. But even if they are excelling, the foundation is flawed... and life isn’t fair, and that is the price you pay for having corrupt parents. A good lesson for these kids that money and privilege isn’t everything.

@Spokeskitties75 Precisely...shitty things happen to kids with shitty parents. Maybe these kids will be taken care of before the parents have to start selling off everything to pay their legal fees.

@joe438 I just think you can’t have a truly good academic career based on a fraudulent and flawed foundation.

By that point, it's already too late. You've already denied another student that seat. If the student whose parents bought them that seat for a half $1 billion is working out to be a quality student, then they've proven that they deserve it.
If they turn out to be the kind of student who doesn't show up to class and is expecting to skate through to a degree, then definitely kick them out

@MethDozer I agree... although there are students that “claim” they didn’t!

@Spokeskitties75 Some probably did and didn't. I Honestly don't care and find it slow news day filler.
