No one cares. Not even the college kids I spoke with. They know better than anyone what’s going on. Here in Texas when we were working on admissions we knew not having a z in our name meant forget getting into a good program. It was also the answer to ‘how did THAT average kid get into an engineering program at A&M??”
It’s a distraction
They certainly chose an actor who tries to put out decent films ( terrible writing but non offensive).

I thought it was common knowledge that anybody with enough money could buy their kid a seat at any school and guarantee they graduated too. How can anybody be surprised? It has been out in the open forever. I dealt with a General Dynamics VP who was supposed to have an engineering degree. He was only marginally literate and his knowledge and decision making powers were practically zero. When I asked people who knew him they pointed out his father had endowed the university with a new building and then, viola! his illiterate kid was enrolled. Eventually, he was such a problem to GD that they bought him out and retired him with full pension in his forties. (He was part of the original family that started GD and still holds control.)
Of course they care. We care. Who are you kidding.
