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.

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.
Nice comeback.
this goes on everywhere I was told by a private hitting coach who and how and when and what to say to approach to make a donation to the private all boys catholic athletic dept so my son would make Varsity baseball. 5 figures was a bit steep for me. It equal the tuition
