| Anonymous Coward User ID: 76202283 United States04/14/2019 07:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The rich just use "donations" (bribes) to get their kids into a school. The legal bribes are a tax write-off. "A few of the legal ways college admissions are rigged for the wealthy: The best-known is the preference and attention that go to parents who give massive donations and endowments before their kids apply — "development admits," in university jargon. As the N.Y. Times' Frank Bruni wrote: "It may be legal to pledge $2.5 million to Harvard just as your son is applying ... and illegal to bribe a coach, ... but ... oth elevate money over accomplishment." ...Tax loopholes that help rich people are enablers of massive donations."

When you are out on the sidewalk teaching your child to ride their bike, at some point you gotta let go, and they are going to fall. The good parent, picks them off, brushes them off and tell them what an awesome 1st attempt that was, now let's get back on the bike and try again. If you didn't put a few bandaids on your kids knees, then you failed them..  Just because YOU don’t believe in the Rougarou; or the Loup Garou, don’t make you safe; No ! The Constitution is a blend of 'moral certitude' -- which is one of the reasons that criminals are determined to be rid of it and We the People must be even more determined to defend it.

They are actively infiltrating colleges and promoting their own. They are even handy capping asians. |

| oniongrass User ID: 77444599 United States04/14/2019 08:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why is it that the Colleges themselves are not being questioned as to their involvement in possible pay to play schemes? No doubt to me that they are corrupted too. Quoting: Bluebird1 58042994 You mean selling seats in their freshman classes? Private colleges are legally entitled to do that. The problem here is that the purchasing mechanism was circumvented via a cheaper "side door" where often the money didn't even wind up in the school's coffers. And there was cheating on the SAT and ACT, which is largely the fault of the testing companies for allowing such un-supervised testing. .

Snowplow is a fresh realistic term to me and corrolates bruteforce or ddos. From a mathematical point of view its an obvious leverage. Bottom line with old money,kids going into family business and needs skills.the schools cater to this need.the degree means nothing as the kid passes eventually.Gets job at some fund somewhere.

What we see with the college admissions scandal is rich people buying their kids way into university over more higher achieving students who come from poorer backgrounds. Middle class and poor people can't afford to spoil their kids rotten nor do they have time and money to smooth out every little wrinkle in life that their kids encounter. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75112821 It couldn't then call itself a university, and the donation couldn't be treated as tax deductible (charitable giving). Those colleges should lose their accreditation and the degrees should be voided so that employers know to hire actual graduates of an accredited institution. They should be called an education club. |
