You would not have this fraud if people were paying for their own college classes.

“Don’t send the money to the student.”

This exactly. Given the wildly corrupt financial shenanigans that have been going on for some decades now, this ‘mistake’ of setting up systems to dump checks into unknown hands is finally being revealed to be a purposeful practice.

My mother in law (God rest her soul) was a financial aid bursar for a good sized Community College in her day and back then there were scams by kids and parents to get free money, but she made it a point to only pay by paper check, look the people in the eye as they signed the forms and remind them that the money there were receiving was for an education, not beer and dope.

I worked in a probation office for 45 years. Time was idiots would sign up for classes and get huge loans. They would come in and pay off the court, and never attend a class. They were too stupid to be educated.

“ Don’t send the money to the student. Send it directly to the school after they pass the class.”

At least only send the money directly the school. Same for student loans.

If schools had to co-sign loans this wouldn’t occur very often.

Also, schools would ensure that students were qualified and took enough of the right courses to be able to earn enough to repay the loans themselves.

The clear solution is for the AI bots to do all of the schoolwork and not drop out after the financial aid goes through.
