Yale University has rescinded the admission of a student whose family paid $1.2 million to get them in

Yale has said two people applied to the university with fraudulent athletic endorsements from women's soccer coach Rudy Meredith. One was denied admission despite the endorsement, and the other was admitted and was attending Yale, the university said on its website.A Yale spokesman did not provide any more information on the student.The decision comes as Yale, USC, UCLA and other major universities deal with the fallout from the sprawling scandal.

Singer sent that fake profile to Meredith, who then falsely designated the applicant as a women's soccer recruit to help her gain admission to Yale, according to a criminal indictment.The applicant's parents paid $1.2 million to Singer for the arrangement in the spring and summer of 2018, and Singer mailed Meredith a check for $400,000 after the applicant was admitted to Yale. The parents are not named in the complaint.

Did they get their money back ?

They must be pretty stupid if they have to pay that much

If it is 'a student' then it cannot be 'them'. It is 'him' or 'her'.

Yeah, cheat to get into college, get expelled. Cheat to get into the United States, get free or reduced college. Hypocrisy...

Did Yale give back the 1.2 million bucks?

So if you're willing to cheat to get in, why not just lie on your resume and say you went there? If you're willing to cheat, you're willing to cheat.

GovHowardDean I should hope so.

Universities still need contributions. Real Question: if it’s not a state school, how can we tell private institutions who they can/can’t accept & to what criteria they must adhere to admit students (if it’s not based on unconstitutionally discriminatory practices)?

Because too lazy to read the article, did Yale give the 'bribe' back?

They should just leave the students alone it's could be devastating for them

This is just a stop gap measure

This is new behavior from Yale, Harvard et al? Of course not. Yale has decided to make an 'example' of someone, Harvard will too and then they'll figure a better way to cover their 'contributions' to these schools from the uber wealthy to open the entrance doors.

Why not punish these schools? How many bribes are they allowed to take? Do we live in a banana republic? What the fork does 'Ivy leage' mean after this? What did it ever mean?

Horrible headline

Are they giving the money back though?

got a better bribe offer?

Give the money back too?

Honestly, if your family has 1.2 million to drop on a bribe, you really don’t need a college education

USC you're next.

Good, that kid didn't earn it. Mom and Dad don't have much confidence in their kid. Wow, have to buy the kids way thru life. Looking to me like that Democrat/liberals way of life is working out good as far as the dumbing down part.

well then welcome to poverty I give you advice but I do not have any.

Oh no they’ll have to go to USC

Hope the money was returned!!

Yale University is not a good university anymore!!!!!

Hell the National party in New Zealand will sell you a party seat for $ 100000 now that's cheap

SERIOUSLY! LIKE THIS SURPRISES ANYONE!?!?!

Tell me again how you need to 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' rich people?

A $1.2 million OMG, is that real?

if you have $1.2 million why you need a diploma ? 🧐

Wow 1 student, 1 time, oh the sacrifice 🙄

I think I’ve seen this same post about four times today.

But that’s a lot isn’t that good?

Wooow

If you got $1.2 million to give to a college... Couldn't you have used like 10% of that for tutors for your child?

Oh, funny that. Now that the elites have been ousted

Too many knuckledraggers named ‘Tanner’ at that school anyway...
