We live in the Age of Fake where everything is fake.
Fake, gay and retarded is full indictment, currently.
Well stop that, and more problem. Not hard.
I can only imagine how much of the GDP is driven by such fakers.
Cause hey, economic activity is economic activity regardless...
I sure hope they don’t teach computer security there.
Righty tighty completely the government funds spigot, and this “first world” problem self-corrects.
“You would not have this fraud if people were paying for their own college classes.”
Or if the classes were not entirely online. If “Students” had to show up they’d not be able to do this
“ Well stop that, and more problem. Not hard.”
Don’t send the money to the student. Send it directly to the school after they pass the class. That’s what I did. I think their finance (do they still call it Bursor) department’s information systems are out of date.
We would not have this fraud if the governments providing the funds did some basic vetting of their applicants.
A simple requirement to submit a photo of your drivers license (or other state-issued photo ID) would do.
Bots can’t fake that without access to DMV records.
Why is this happening?
We wanted to make it easier for poor people to go to college. Bilking community colleges is easy work.
How naive can one be to teach in a California community college and be surprised that you have mostly bots for students only there to defraud a financial aid program? California and Colorado are the closest places to Idiocracy that I have ever seen.
My first thought is that you would not have this kind of fraud if the aid were going directly to the college for tuition/fees payment. Then, on second thought, I realized this is California. Thus you might still have the fraud even if the beneficiary was a Government entity.
From my personal experience, my friends and family members who got financial aide to go to community college weren’t productive students who were learning anything. So maybe giving bots financial aid isn’t a bad idea.
Easy to fix, HUD sends support funds directly to land lords. The renter never touches it. Student support funds should work the same way.
Yep. Against the backdrop of a surreal, Hellish, hollowed-out society void of any unifying moral compass. (Jeez, I need to re-frame my morning! Maybe a second cup of coffee will help...)
You could also stop it by requiring people to show up IN PERSON to make applications, with requisite ID.
But I’d be happy to cut off the loans, too.
“You would not have this fraud if people were paying for their own college classes.”
Exactly. Doing away with federal financial aid would do away with many of the problems with our colleges.
Thans seems harder than just taking the class and learning something.
Do they offer degrees in “Government Fraud”?
If nobody shows up for class then no money gets dispersed. Unless these Bots are sending Holograms to sit in the chairs. I’m sure that the lefties would have a fit of the notion that kids might actually have to come to class in person and listen to a lecture.
