My favorite Stooges line ...
“Oh, you think so, do you?”
“I don’t think. I KNOW.”
“I don’t think you know, either.”
This is the "house" version of the "book" buying bribery scandal with the Mayor of Baltimore.
Touche!
Unlike the squash or soccer coach, the freshman English teacher is 35 years old, making 75K a year, has one child and another on the way and is still paying off grad school. Meanwhile his pregnant wife is pissing and moaning about being stuck in Bennington, Vermont instead of the big city.
These pukes, I would imagine, could be bought for peanuts.
Spread 50K around and get my kid on the Dean's list? Fuck, I'll do it!
And an even greater number of schemes to get them out.
I think all involved have profited mightily from that transaction.
That’s the argument that is made with any such bribery, of course.
Its the Benjamins, baby.
That’s the argument that is made with any such bribery, of course.
(And of course, had he gone to a lesser school, might he and Ivanka have not overcome their issues to marry and he might not be in pulling Trump to the left, and opening the admin to corruption charges, every chance he gets!
Obviously.
Pretty much looks like a straight up bribe, but hey, at least the kid actually played tennis!
That is a very good one - LOL.
same kind of deal as when NBC hired Chelsea Clinton as a “special correspondent” for hundreds of thousands of dollars and put her on the air for only a couple of times ...
Good analogy.
Chelsea worked like a slave for that $600 grand a year and you know it!

“Zhao said his son was a successful fencer, excelled at the prestigious St. Albans School with excellent grades (all A’s in high school except for one B freshman year, transcripts show), notched a nearly perfect SAT score, and had Harvard family connections — his older brother was then a student and a fencer, and his mother has multiple Harvard graduate degrees.”
All sounds great...UNTIL...you remember that this is an ASIAN family and therefore gets stepped on even more than whites. No wonder dad had to ‘take the extra step’ to get the kid admitted.
Correct. The poor, minorities and even illegal aliens get a free ride. The rich bribe their way in. It's the working middle class that get screwed.
Our fair city.
This all about people cutting out the trustees, administrators and president staff. How dare the every day people figure out a way to take bribes, for less $$$$, than the elites. The university elites could have sold that fencing scholarship for 5-10 X what the coaches did. That’s the sad part about this. The bribe network move down an order of magnitude and bypassed the elites.
Just my opinion.
I read today that the average GPA at Harvard is A-. So I don’t know if it would cost very much to buy an A. And it probably wouldn’t be worth much to the student, since they can get an A- with minimal effort. I have heard that about Harvard for decades, that it’s hard to get into, but once you do, the classes are all graded very easy.
