The judge will throw the suit out of court, along with the suer and her attorney (and maybe even his license to practice).

Filing a “frivolous lawsuit” can get a lawyer in a lot of legal trouble up-to and including disbarment.

A nice way to crush the commie socialist university propaganda houses. I would like to think that this was the plan

How does it fit? I would think for such a lawsuit you would need to have the charged perpetrators and the demonstrated harm.

Some sort of a lottery-style chance that someone’s actions might possibly have “harmed” someone in some way doesn’t cut it. So even if it identified a parent who cheated his or her kid’s way into a particular school that your kid applied to and was rejected from, how could you show that your kid necessarily would have been accepted into that school if not for that particular parent’s actions? Or any other so-called “good” school?

Or that your kid would have been better off, say with more debt and more likely to be over his or her head academically and maybe uncomfortable socially, than if he or she had taken inexpensive in-state community college classes for a couple of years before being unquestionably able to transfer to your state’s flagship state university?

I’m not saying those parents caught committing felonies should not be prosecuted, though I bet at worst they will get off with a slap of the wrist. Even those corrupt coaches taking bribes for their own pockets, if recent precedent holds (e.g., one of the assistant coaches for the Boston Celtics) won’t face punishment of consequence beyond firing.

Yeah, the ringleader presumably is going to get sent away for some period of time.

The defendants hit the Jackpot in bribes and payoffs for decades (destroying American higher education in the process), now the plaintiff hopes to hit the Jackpot, destroying American higher education in the process.

So how is she going to prove that anyone that was accepted actually took a spot her kid would have gotten it they had bot gotten the spot? There are several hundred reasons her kid did not make the cut!

Well, you're trying to use reasoning, logic and critical thinking to analyze a Jackpot Justice tort.

That might work in a Rule of Law Constitutional Representative Republic, but not in a Mob Rule Media Narrative Dystopian Tyranny.

Regardless, I will answer your honest question using Economic Market Law; the Market over time always compensates for any force that is applied to it.

In fact, every single student involved in the University System including all applicants not accepted, was affected financially, economically, and intellectually by the illegal actions of the defendants.

What they received in value was changed over what they SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED because the Market always compensates.

The proof is Prima Facie in Natural Law, but in our Rule Of Mob courts the litigant with the most Elite Friends in the Deep Bureaucracy will prevail.
