The massive college admissions scam that snared 50 people in a federal indictment, including two high-profile actresses, has prompted a class-action lawsuit filed by two California college students.

While I’m not a fan of lawsuits in general, I can’t help but hope this suit succeeds.
LOL!!
Excellent idea considering all the cost involved In educating kids to their late teens. I think a huge avalanche of class action law suits is poetic justice.dont stop at the schools I hope they bankrupt the testing companies too.
Discovery should be a hoot.
I can’t see how they settle without opening the flood gates...
Bwah hah hah hah hah!
I just hope Obama gets dragged in, not just his kid’s tennis coach.
I’ll lay odds Barry’s been selling letters of recommendation.
Actually, these are criminal proceedings rather than civil suits. At least one of the defendants has been released on a $$1 million bond
This guy Singer, the ringleader, was quoted on the NEWS saying it has worked over 800 Times before, WHERE ARE ALL THOSE NAMES AND PEOPLE???
Great, something else to raise the cost of higher education. We all know these costs aren’t going to be eaten by the school. No, these costs are going to be transferred to the student body thereby increasing an overly bloated cost of education to pay the administration an overly bloated salary. These schools should lose their federal funding status.
Let's keep those thoughts going.
N-i-c-e take.

From the press conference in Boston, the attorney general said the investigation is ongoing and more indictments are coming.
Good. But affirmative action must be eliminated!
I think this is an appropriate use of a lawsuit. How else can the wronged parties get redress?
In these cases, the wronged parties most definitely include students who should have recieved a slot in a school based on their ability, but who were turned away so that some dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks son or daughter of a wealthy person could be admitted.
If you are wealthy and want to donate $1 million to a college or university, that’s your right and nobody else’s business. If you use that money to bribe a way into school for your offspring, that’s a different story altogether.
I’d also love to see how the academic and professional careers of these students turn out. It seems to me that if your child doesn’t have the intelligence, work ethic, and whatever else it takes to be admitted in the first place, the likelihood of having a sucessful educational experience, and career experience, isn’t very high.
A year or two in a community college might do wonders for these young folks. Trade school might be even better.

Plausible.
This raises the question: did he actually take the SAT himself? Did he take it but was coached through it?
Heh....nice insight.

I don’t know where you work but look around any large corporation. There are plenty of no heavy lifting executive positions occupied by USC, Stanford, Yale graduates making big dough. Heck just look at the Federal Government. Sorry to burst your bubble but once in they have jumped the biggest bar. The next hurdle these people face is the size of an ant-hill.
