Executive Summary: Dr. Dre publicly boasted that his daughter didn't need help to get into USC, but was then reminded that he gave USC $70 mil before said daughter was admitted.

The good Dr. then removed the Instagram post in question, which was probably for the best.

How much is he worth? $70 million? I’m sure that’s a long term endowment and not a lump sum.

Well, at least he violated no laws to do this - he didn't pay for anyone to take his daughter's tests for her, he didn't bribe some coach to pretend she was on a team. He just did what rich folks have always done to get their kids into college - he made a huge donation.

Affirmative action not enough to get Dre’s kid in?

In other words, Dre won’t get jail time because he helped his daughter get into USC the old fashioned way: getting the family name on a building on campus.

Damn, he could have just gotten his daughter in the old-fashioned way - affirmative action - and saved the $70m!

“My daughter got accepted into USC all on her own."

Maybe she did but there's always the question of Affirmative Action.

He could have just given her the 70 million.

Took a lot if words to get to it.

Here: Dre says his daughter got in on her own - but it was after he gave $70M to the school.

What Dre did was legal and what those others did wasn’t . Why is that such a difficult concept for the leftie media to grasp? I don’t see any problem with a private university letting a kid in in exchange for 70m. Sounds like good business to me. And a new building means they can add more students, so it really isn’t taking someone else’s place.

He is kind of an ass for bragging about it though.

Donating a building to get your kid in may be an acceptable form of bribery and is usually public

her stay on a USC board of trustee member’s yacht

Once you bribe your way in, I guess one has to do something to get those passing grades.

Everytime it surfaces, the scope and dimensions of the fraud descends to new depth of criminality.

Quoting FBI agents said when the admissions scandal broke:
“We’re not talking about donating a building. We’re talking about:
<><> deception and fraud.
<><> fake test scores,
<><> fake athletic credentials,
<><> fake photographs.
<><> bribing college officials of every stripe.
<><> proctors allowed to give test answers.

Not to mention tax fraud.......donating to the admissions mastermind's do-good foundation then receiving
falsified verification for tax purposes that nothing of value was given in return for the "donation."

DID YOU KNOW? $100 MILLION OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS ARE
BEING HELD BY THE OBAMA FOUNDATION FOR "EDUCATION"

HOW IT WENT DOWN: Then-F/L Michele, her mother and daughters in the Moroccan palace.

Look at that smile----Obama gave her $100 million tax dollars....wait for it....."to teach Muslim girls in Morocco."

The $100 mill is to be held by the Obama Foundation, to be doled out when necessary (cue laugh machine here).
How much has been expended to date?
How does the Obama Foundation qualify girls?
Do the girls' parents pay fees?
Where does the teaching take place?

==========================================

NOTE WELL: Obama's $100 million "education fund" came out of the Millenium Challenge Fund at the State Dept----Hillary's fave slush fund.

ACTION NOW: Demand the books be opened-----taxpayers demand to know where the Millenium funds are going.

Wow! $70 million. That’s almost like paying out of state tuition.

Can’t say I know much about him, but if he donated $70 mil to USC - good for him.

Keep in mind, he made the “donation” six years ago. Yes, I imagine he knew that, in the future, it might help his daughter but it was when she was only about 12 or 13. So, not quite as direct as it might sound. Not a Dre fan and he was pretty stupid posting that but......

Yet another example of a leftist who thinks he is superior to us, yet he is too stupid to recognize that maybe a $70 million gift to a school might have had some impact on his daughter being accepted to that school.

Leftists just make this world a mess.
