First class action suit filed in largest-ever college admissions scandal

Two Stanford University students are suing the University of Southern California, Yale, the University of California Los Angeles and other institutions involved in the largest-ever admissions bribery case that broke Tuesday involving affluent parents paying coaches to get their kids into top universities.

In the complaint, Olsen, from Henderson, Nevada, said she had “stellar” standardized test scores and athletic talent, but was nonetheless rejected by Yale after paying her application fee. Likewise, Woods, from San Diego, said in the complaint that she was an exceptional student and athlete, but when applying to enter the University of Southern California"was never informed that the process of admission at USC was an unfair, rigged process, in which parents could buy their way into the university through bribrey and dishonest schemes."

Will children at center of college admissions scandal pay a price along with their parents?Administrators at UCLA and USC are reviewing student admission decisions after federal authorities uncovered a massive cheating scandal in which dozens of families paid huge sums to gain access to exclusive schools through bribes and lies. I don't think punishing the kids is right. It's not like they had much of a choice. How many 18-year-olds will be able to take a stand against a domineering parent who controls much of their immediate future? The kids should be expelled and forced to attend Community College! لوري ما تسويها يا كلاب.
