“What contact information did they include? Did all 83,000 fake job applications have the same phone number and email address? Did the return information go back to university non-student accounts?”

Bingo. I like the way you think. I’ll venture to suggest they didn’t create 83,000 different resumes either, just 83,000 different names.

I have the perspective of one whose primary years were spent in a Calvert System private school for US military and businessmen in Istanbul in the fifties with Uncle Sam paying for it, then re-entering American public schools and coming to the realization that I was multiple years ahead of everyone else. I got more US and World history in 3rd and 4th grade tan I got from 7-12th. The other subjects were comparable. And then as an adult I saw what JrHi/middle schoolers were getting in the 60s and that standards were declining. In Istanbul the first three grades got read to by the teacher for an hour in each 6 hour day from Dickens and Ivanhoe and The Black Arrow, and other what we would consider now as adult books that appealed to kids without being way out of our ken like Shakespeare which the 7th graders had to read themselves. My oldest went to PS but got all advanced classes including Latin in HS. Those classes are not offered any more in that system and she studied a lot on her own time. The other three went to a mix of parochial schools and home school because I and my wife, who was a school teacher, were disgusted with public schools

I had a co-worker very similar.
Once they get in, it is almost impossible to get them out.
