This one part (above) just isn't true. Students do still fail classes, although they usually "drop" or "withdraw" in time to avoid the "F" on the transcript.
Unless he's talking only about the "top" universities... (?)
Hillary Clinton as the biggest violator of pay to play of all time is laughing her azz off. She triple dog dares anyone to go after her and the Clinton Crime Syndicate. I guarantee Chelsea horse teeth was never smart enough to get into anywhere she applied nor is she worthy of any of the degrees paid for.
I’d hazard a guess that, based upon his records at the Military School he attended, his stature as a leader there, etc., he sailed into Wharton on his own, like the aircraft carrier, USS RONALD W. REAGAN.
I noticed that MIT and CalTech were not involved.
Yale Law School was not involved, Yale undergraduate school was.
That reminds me ..has obama released his college records yet?
Good point. Then again, colleges like MIT are dream colleges only to students who actually want to learn something.
Yes, it's hard to believe thugs in the FBI and DOJ are doing a criminal investigation that isn't political for their 'friends' in the Democrat Party.
I have a professor friend at USA and he says that the university software grading system, that he has to use, will not allow a fail to be entered.
For a liberal he’s usually spot on.
One of those Hollywood actresses paid a bribe of $500,000 to get her kid into USC.
1. You'd have to be retarded to pay that kind of money just to have your child admitted to a university. You could pay your way through an undergraduate program and BOTH medical school and law school for the kind of money these dopes were pissing away.
2. USC must look at this and be thinking of ways to admit more wealthy kids whose parents are willing to pay that much money to get their kids into the school.
I dunno.
I once paid $300 bucks per person to get into a club, that if I had waited another I would have gotten in for $50 per.
Sometimes it’s worth it....
Oh, and the club sucked. I left after 30 minutes.
I highly doubt anyone is going to investigate the circumstances of PDJT’s acceptance at Wharton....50 years ago. And why do you doubt his father donated money to Wharton? Maybe he did. How do you think the Kennedy’s got into Harvard? The Bushes into Yale? etc. etc. Rich people donating money to get their offspring into top schools has been happening for quite awhile.
After these revelations, any company that is serious about hiring the best employees will administer its own tests to job applicants, and it will forget about whatever colleges applicants may have attended or if they attended college at all.
Look, at bottom, you know the fault of this lies in the fact that we’ve abolished grades at universities, in many parts of the country, nobody fails anymore cause if we went back to the situation that occurred when I started teaching at Harvard, almost sixty years ago, this couldn’t work, because these students would fail out.

And there is the problem. The feedback loop has been deliberately broken. Now you just show up and you get a degree.
Well, in a way the scandal is a good thing as it exposes the crime and fraud that is “higher education”.
CNN’s Don Lemon ties Donald Trump to college admissions cheating scheme.
Yes, but going open-loop is so liberating.
Of course going open-loop inevitably leads to going non-linear, which is also interesting and can be the source of lots of news stories.
QUOTE: For some reason this story makes me want to watch Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield again.
“Phil. In Mr. Melon’s defense, it was a really big check.”
Companies are doing that now, especially in the computer science field. They found that a college degree doesn't mean you're prepared for the job.
