To: Still Thinking

Ummm. Stanford and USC are private. At USC, Doheny library was built to get his kid admitted. USC has always been very open about it. Now if someone was pocketing money on the side... well that is a different story.

Speaking of Doheny ...

In the 1920s, Doheny was implicated in the Teapot Dome Scandal and accused of offering a $100,000 bribe to United States Secretary of the Interior Albert Fall.

The funny thing is, Doheny was acquitted of offering a bribe Fall was convicted of accepting. Think about that. During the trial, Fall said what Doheny offered was not “One hundred thousand dollars,” but “One hundred cows and horses.” LOL

“At USC, Doheny library was built to get his kid admitted.”

Possibly true, like 20%. Edward L. Doheny build a library in honor of his son at USC. He built a hospital at UCLA in honor of his wife. And Estelle Doheny build a library in honor of her husband at St. John’s. The Doheny’s were the wealthiest in American for a few years and their bright son could go to any college in 1925.

Top universities have always had millionaires from Asia fly in and put $100,000 cash on the dean’s desk for a diploma. I have seen that in San Francisco. It’s crazy.

B.A. degrees from top American colleges are not worth the crime, like stealing a Ford Fiesta. The excellence is in American graduate schools. MIT is the best school.

The schools will continue to pay those “fired”.
They want this bribery to continue.
