You guys been reading about this?

Guess Hallmark will soon drop her like a hot potato now. Maybe she can get a cameo at Walmart instead, it’s only a few letters off.
 
The memes are already awesome

What's the big deal, people have been doing this for close to 100 years! If rich parents didn't build chem labs, dorms and stadiums, most of these schools of higher education wouldn't half of the crap they do. Secondly, if getting a package delivered by USPS or UPS or Fed Ex and/or getting bogus stuff over the internet is Mail Fraud,,, the FBI needs to fill a C-130 with handcuffs and head to Nigeria!!!
I think this is a tempest in a teapot, stirred up by the heads of the schools who were not getting the lion's share of the goods... but I could be wrong.
 
The difference is...they got caught. I sure hope another qualified applicant didn’t get turned down because of it.

^^^^^This... is the problem.

And the usual prodding question:
How would YOU feel... if YOUR son/daughter was rejected...
When someone NOT qualified got their place...
Because the parents cheated?

Either we are a society of the rule of law...
Or we are the result of the lack of the rule of law...

And I seriously doubt any of us really want to go down that second road... :)
 
Qualified applicants do not get admitted for any of a number of reasons, not the least of which is affirmative action and an asinine desire to have half of the student body made up of foreign nationals. The last one kept my kid out of Ga Tech, so he went to Southern Poly Tech instead,,, not as prestigious, but still an education.
The really smart parents have been paying smart kids to take their kids SATs for quite a while,,, just sayin'.
 
Some of the comments at the bottom of the article are amusing...
Some folks are soooo caught up in their TDS... they literally cannot see the forest for the trees.

I wish someone would video them (individually), then show them how they look... :rofl:

Agree good comments:

So according to libs, sneaking into the country: good. Sneaking into college: bad.


Higher education is virtually controlled by the loony left and they act SHOCKED that it's as corrupt as anything else touched by them!

Full Big House??

What's even crazier is that Loughlins daughter went on to say that she doesn't even care about going to college. She plans on traveling and modeling to save the world mostly but wants to go to college for the partying and drinking.

So......cheating to get your kid into college is major crime, but Democrats allowing illegal aliens to vote isn't?

Oh my... Lena Dunham and Kathy Griffin feel they have some kind of moral high ground to make comments about this situation. Maybe the Apocalypse is a lot closer than we realize.

All the really rich people (ones who buy campus buildings and fund scholarships) are laughing at these amateurs bribers.

Why not just give your kids couple million and say good luck - forget school

Just think she,s gonna go from Full House to the Big House

When asked about committing fraud to get into college Elizabeth Warren said “No comment” and retreated to her Teepee

I was on a competitive rowing team for four years. One of the girls who was on my team who was older, went on to USC. I bumped into her at a CREW gathering and she was talking about college. I made some comment that she was smart enough to get into USC, she made a pfttt... sound and said, "No, dad paid enough to get me in." Dad was a pioneering surgeon of some sort in San Diego, Mom was a realtor. Money was never an issue. She said, "He probably paid to add a wing on some building to get me in." Ironically she did have a sport that she was good at, but apparently not the grades.

I learned early on, there is no level playing field... why else the moniker University of Spoiled Children = USC

She went on to be a media promoter and has done fine for herself. She was not a dumb girl, but she was more social than scholarly apparently.
 
My take on this is degrees are over rated in many cases and have no bearing on job skills. The system is run by pretentious elitist who think they are somehow better than the blue collar class. I know some excellent business people who barely got out of high school and some shingled up snobs who can't pour piss out of a boot. Having spouted that out I have no problem with higher education when it is applied properly by competent people. These people involved in this scam did it for themselves not for their precious (and apparently not so sharp) children. They did it so they could tell their equally snobbish friends their kid was a student at USC, Yale, Stanford, etc. They have put a Scarlett letter on their precious ones in an attempt to raise their own standing among their peers. I agree it has gone on for years and just cheapens the system as a whole.

Agreed. Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-college at all. I sent my daughter to college and she got a degree that did very well for her up to the time when she became a stay at home mom. My son-in-law has also done very well with his degree.

But it seems that an awful lot of people have college degrees nowadays that are no good for anything but looking pretty hanging on the wall. College has become a business that is designed to take people's money and run them through the building. This has been perpetuated by the mindset of the public school system and supported by programs such as Hope Scholarship. And a lot of the degrees that are being handed out are almost worthless in today's job market.

I know a lot of young people with college degrees and huge student loans who are waiting tables, keeping kids, etc. Honorable work, but not what they paid $100,000 for. And the kind of jobs they are finding usually doesn't have the income potential to pay these student loans back. There is likely a "crash" coming involving student loans.

All this while the market is starving for experienced and qualified tradesmen. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, mechanics, etc. High schools need to put shop classes back in and begin to teach kids how to do these trades. Not everyone is meant for college, and it's not uncommon today for skilled tradesmen to make much better money than college grads.

The other downside of the "gotta have college" mindset is that many of the trades are under-respected and underpaid. My state licenses are called professional licenses, and for a good reason. But the way the trades are structured and the lack of qualified techs have caused today's society to look down on them as blue collar jobs, and that is unfortunate.

Our entire job market is kind of out of whack.
