Her family´s company, Chef America, was sold to Nestle in 2002 for more than $2 billion.
I do not know Ms. Janavs net worth but my guess is she was wealthy enough to get her kids into USC the ole fashioned way; a seven figure donation.
After affirmative action college admissions are a joke. Why not just allow them to buy it?
And trators walk free...I think a hefty fine and community service at a low level would be better. Maybe cleaning toilets in parks...
The most shocking part of this news story is that there exists a “Hot Pockets heiress”.
The cool thing about the donation is you can get a building or a teaching chair named after you. ;-)
From the perspective of us here at FR the money used was a waste.
One wonders who were the Administrators who took the money and admitted the kid? Are they going to be named? Will they face any penalties?
Why aren’t the crooks at the college, the ones who took the bribes, being prosecuted?
Hot Pockets. Dr. Evil’s favorite snack. :>)
I can’t get excited by these payoffs. I don’t see it as any different than Jared Kushner’s vile father buying Harvard a building and getting all his kids in, or C-average morons like George W. Bush getting into Yale just because daddy and grandpappy did.
The buzz is she gets $100,000 per month from the family trust.
Underqualified college students graduate. The degree has no connection to learning.
Well, perhaps she should have taken advantage by telling her kids to ID as black or hispanic per this:

I always called them pus pockets. yuck
Wonder if she’ll be able to buy Hot Pockets on her commissary account? If she does, will she get a residual from the purchase? If so, can the residual be put back on her commissary account? Could this cause a rip in space-time?
She should have just had them check the “native American” box, that always works
That is ridiculous
Academic merit flew out the window for universities decades ago when standards were reduced or even waived for so-called disadvantaged students. Then there are the legacies and the children of wealthy families who created an endowment or donated to the university for some facility. That’s been going on for centuries. I’m not able to gin up any outrage over this as a result. If there’s any university that can demonstrate that some deserving student academically was unfairly displaced due to someone buying their way in, I’ll feel for that student. The university however is just money-grubbing as they always do.
Unfair advantages are what life is about. But we suffer from politically correct tardicracy.
