still, these institutions are wide open for class action suits from disgruntled parents. It won’t happen tomorrow, but it will happen.
Wow this lawyer is trying for the big bucks. He is thinking 1/3 of $500 Billion is big. An Engineer would be thinking $1.6 Billion is big. But Lawyers can’t do the math.
You have to recall that, last year, Harvard was litigating their limit to Orientals enrollment policy. Without it, Cambridge would look like downtown Hong Kong.
This is going to hurt the Ivy League, a lot...
wow that sounds like a lot of money!

I was involved in a civil suit about 10 years ago due to a truck driver hitting my vehicle.
I asked about lawsuits I see where they say they are going to sue for a gazillion dollars. He said it is all just hype and is meaningless. You file the suit saying you are suing for in excess of fifty thousand dollars and that’s it. You don’t get to set your own reward amount.
What is the Federal crime here?
. Is it because taxpayer money is involved?
Crimes like robbery, rape, murder, assaults are not Federal crimes unless directed at the Govt or their agents. -Tom
College admissions have been phony for years. Virtually all colleges have different admissions standards for different races, with Asians being rejected for qualifications that would get a white person accepted and a black person accepted with a full scholarship. This is needed, they argue, for diversity, the holy grail of academia.

It already does.

Money buys influence! Wow.
I know it’s more than that, but I’m surprised the run this is getting. If there weren’t 2 celebrities involved, this would be page 6 stuff.
Competent just isn't the demographic they are looking for.
It wasn't Democrats claiming Trump University was a scam. In the lawsuit, there was no mention of a political party; and it was a scam. I read the depositions. I was surprised that Democrats didn't make a big deal about Trump University during the Presidential campaign. Trump may have just loaned his name in exchange for a fee, but his name was associated with it.
Adapted from an earlier thread...
What about Chelsea Clinton?
She's gotten a pile of degrees from major univs, however to when one hears her speak, she does not come across as at all scholarly or "bookish" or at all a person of letters.
One would wager that if some TAs who graded some of Chelsea's essays were to come forward, some heavy influence in her favor might be exposed to daylight.
One doubts seriously that she earned her way into these institutions, and even more so that she earned the degrees conferred upon her.
The parents involved parents took tax deductions on purported "donations" that were actually bribes.
Does it indicate anywhere that there were actually kids bumped? If there were hundreds and thousands of kids who got in this way and only this handfull of schools it would have more validity. But really 2 kids at USC?
Sue over perception.
Then the schools go broke (USC has enough lawsuits to bankrupt them) and the government takes over.
And everybody gets a free edumacayshun because by then it will be worth zip.
They will settkle out of court for admission to the university of choice.
For free of course.
“What is the Federal crime here?”
Good question. This is the smoke screen—the squirrel. What’s the DOJ trying to cover up besides their involvement in a coup to overthrow the POTUS?
Wonder how many they got in to college to date since the scam started.
Want to the ones who have benefitted identified and ridiculed for being
cheaters.
One's skin color being black or brown, helping them get a seat at a college IS nefarious.
And it's systemic and much more wide spread.
“The parents involved parents took tax deductions on purported “donations” that were actually bribes.”
Wow...That explains the FBI and guns drawn arrests /s
Compared to the complete corruption, republic ending, massive conspiracy of high treason we’ve seen with the DOJ/FIB/Stasi state this ranks where? How much media attention has it gotten? Why?
