People have been scamming their ways into prestige universities for decades, maybe centuries, but in the past they have had the good sense not to put the cash on the table. It seems that in this scandal a few of the bribers and their brokers may well pay for their indiscretion with prison sentences as well.
The media pretend to be shocked. In an editorial on the scandal, the New York Times singled out Harvard University for its special admissions preferences and back doors for certain applicants. This is the same New York Times, however, that published an entirely uncritical article three years prior headlined, Malia Obama Rebels, Sort of, by Choosing Harvard.

Michelle was the next to attend Harvard, in her case Harvard Law School. Told by counselors that her SAT scores and her grades werent good enough for an Ivy League school, writes Christopher Andersen in Barack and Michelle, Michelle applied to Princeton and Harvard anyway.
Sympathetic biographer Liza Mundy writes, Michelle frequently deplores the modern reliance on test scores, describing herself as a person who did not test well. She did not write well either. Mundy charitably describes her senior thesis, "Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community," as dense and turgid.
The less charitable Christopher Hitchens observed, To describe [the thesis] as hard to read would be a mistake; the thesis cannot be read at all, in the strict sense of the verb. This is because it wasn't written in any known language. Hitchens exaggerated only a little.

MO, BO and Malia combined IQ’s SQUARED, wouldn’t make minus zero
#blackprivilege
The worst part is these people always get away with everything. Not gonna doubt if this gets let down easily.
Barack’s high school teachers questioned how a “B” student got into an Ivy League school.
I wonder if Harvard paid the Obamas to send daughter there?
Grammar Police trigger warning - please shade your eyes:
“The study inquires about the respondents’ motivations to benefit him/herself, and the following social groups: the family, the Black community, the White community, God and church, The U.S. society, the non-White races of the world, and the human species as a whole.”

Who was getting paid at the schools?
That’s where my head goes. I would venture it’s the case with Bush’s and Clinton’s daughters as well. Kids off to the highest bidder.
There is nothing, when squared, that is negative unless except, of course, i, which is imaginary. However, the products of multiplying together, or squaring their IQs, likely all get even smaller, meaning they all start out less than 1.0. Unless you mean that BO is the dog Bo. In which case, his IQ likely starts out above 1.0.
He was a “foreign” student. We’ve been swindled.
the mile long freight train of run on sentances
I am pretty sure how he got in. And that his educational ‘record’ is sealed BECAUSE of that. He’s plum dumb and everyone KNOWS it.
Of course when he stepped into the political arena, there wasn’t time to properly ‘doctor’ the record, so it was sealed.
We will only get to see it when everyone concerned is dead and gone (well beyond fielding questions) and then the finalized ‘fiction’ will be made available
Those people don’t have to pay, the schools just automatically know what to do.
Dense and turgid? I read that thing. More like ungrammatical, semi-literate and illogically argued.
I’d have been lucky to get a C- on it had I turned it in in junior high.
Hitchens was great.
And nobody can slip in the insult dagger like the English.
What schools get Soros’s $$$? Finding that out will answer a lot of questions.
